Is it possible to use MuseScore on an HP Chromebook 11?
I want to purchase an HP Chromebook 11, and the only thing holding me back is whether or not I can somehow run MuseScore on it.

Unfortunately, MuseScore doesn't run yet on Chromebook/ChromeOS and it will not in the near future.
I know it's a late reply, but I came across your question while also looking for this answer.
You can use a tool called crouton to switch between chromium and a linux distro if the device is in developer mode. Once set up, this switch is quick and easy as chromium and linux can share a kernel. You can run musescore for ubuntu out of this as you would on any other linux pc.
I don't know, though, whether this voids the device warranty.
I have a Samsung ARM (Series 3) Chromebook and MuseScore works fine with Crouton/Ubuntu/LXDE except that I could not make sound work. MuseScore did not run using sudo although I have seen that suggestion as a solution to the sound problem.
If someone has insight into the problem, it would be much appreciated.

Which version of Ubuntu did you install? If you look at /etc/group, do you see yourself and "pulse" listed in the "audio" group? I know I had to mess with this, but that was in part because I first installed 12.04 then upgraded to 14.04 while still setting all this up, and the way audio works changed.
