I switched from Windows 7 to Linux Mint 64-bit recently and downloaded MuseScore, found that everything is not in normal size except the characters. That prevents me from using it. I tried to download it from AppImage and Flatpak and the result is the same. My MuseScore version is 3.2.3 (64-bit).
All the settings are default.

Here is a picture of the oversized MuseScore.

What it is saying is, read the Handbook section on command line options, and try the "-D" option, speciffying the resolution of your monitor. Things work right by default most of the time, but some computers have monitors that the operating doesn't describe properly to MuseScore, so on these systems you need to use that command-line option to tell MuseScore the resolution

For me, changing -D and -x values resulted in changes in the text and icon sizes, but the buttons and drop-boxes were still too large.

Then, while searching for qt scaling issues ubuntu I found this page:

So now I avoid scaling issues by launching musescore from the command line like this:

env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 MuseScore-3.6.2.548021370-x86_64.AppImage
