All,
In the last couple of days I am noticing a text input hesitation/freeze problem with the "Save As..." dialog (among others). And a lot of GLib-GIO-CRITICAL warnings are thrown:
(mscore3:44602): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 12:33:12.901: GFileInfo created without standard::is-hidden
(mscore3:44602): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 12:33:12.901: file ../glib/gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1587 (g_file_info_get_is_hidden): should not be reached
(mscore3:44602): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 12:33:12.901: GFileInfo created without standard::is-backup
(mscore3:44602): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 12:33:12.901: file ../glib/gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1609 (g_file_info_get_is_backup): should not be reached
Perhaps there is an issue with the recent glib2 update?... Dunno. Please post here if you know more or have a fix. Thx :)

All,
Remember, please vote for this pkg if you find it useful!
I have updated this AUR pkg so it can be installed in parallel with musescore4.
Note that this has NOT been extensively tested for regressions. Right now it's a Works-For-Me.
If you run into any problems please post a comment so I receive a notice, or contact me directly. HTH :)
P.S.: Since MuseScore has moved on from ver. 3, there will almost certainly be no upstream maintenance releases for this. I'll try to look around to see if anyone forks ver. 3.6.2 in order to maintain it. Please contact me if you know of a good and active fork. In the very long run, the only way to keep this working may be to create an AppImage and/or Flatpak and/or Snap image of this pkg. Do let me know if you are interested in this. TIA :)

P.S.: If you find this pkg useful, please vote for it so it rises up in popularity rankings to become visible on the AUR pkgs page! And if you run into any problems make sure to add a comment so I am notified. Very likely I will not be able to patch any non-trivial problems that originate in the upstream source, but I will look to see if I can find a fix. I use MuseScore3 several times each month to prepare music for public services. Thank you all :)
All,
I created this pkg because my MuseScore workflow is disrupted now that the GUI has been redesigned in ver. 4. Some functions I use frequently are more difficult or "obscure." Also note that at this time not all MuseScore3 features have been implemented in MuseScore4:
https://musescore.org/en/node/334701
I didn't attempt to make this pkg installable in parallel with musescore-4.x. The names of a few files that conflict with the musescore-4.x pkg (like icons) are hardcoded in the source, so those would need to be patched. In addition, I'm not familiar with how to deal with mimetypes/PNG files nor metainfo/org.musescore.MuseScore.appdata.xml. These would need to be addressed to remove all pkg version conflicts.
Anyone who is interested in installing ver. 3 in parallel with ver. 4 please post a comment here or contact me. TIA :)
