updating to Musescore studio 4.5.1 under Ubuntu
My installation of Musescore on Ubuntu is via Flathub. It recently updated automatically to v. 4.5. However, accepting the offer of the recent update to 4.5.1 simple downloads the App Image file. Despite making it executable, it doesn't seem to want to run. I would prefer for the Flathub version to be updated to 4.5.1. it currently stands at 4.5.
I have no problem updating Musescore on a Mac since it uses a different method of updating the app.
Please advise whether the Flathub version of Musescore Studio will be updated to 4.5.1 as this method is by far and away a most convenient way of performing the update as it seems to update automatically via the Sofware Updater.

You may want to skim through this recent thread, specifically on running MuseScore from the command line and piping into a log.txt file.

Here's info on Command Line options from the handbook.

I'm using the appImage in Linux Mint without issues, other than 4.5.x buglets...
For a quick start, Terminal up, change into the appImage directory and run ./MuseScore...appImage filename ([TAB] is our friend) and see what's what.
Flatpak is unsupported.
Obviously, your flatpak doest not seem to "update automatically via the Sofware Updater"..
I really don't get why anybody would want to install unverified software from some unknown packager.
Uninstall the flatpak, install the appimage (see handbook).
For ubunbtu, you need to install libfuse2
sudo apt install libfuse2
If it does not work, send logfile.
If you want to use flatpak anyway, ask the packager.
An appimage update is just one simple command.
