Cannot install 2.0 on Linux Mint 17
Hello!
I seem to be having a problem installing the latest version of Musescore on Linux Mint 17. For some reason, when I download from the software manager or even the download page, I get Musescore 1.3 instead. I've already followed the instructions here: here, which are the sames as the instructions for Ubuntu on the download page.
Does Musescore 2.0 simply not work with Linux Mint? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m using Linux Mint 17.1 and am using Musescore 2.0 so far without hitch in WINE.

I am using mint 17 and so far have not got musescore 2.0 to open or got wine to work on anything, any suggestions?

Under Mint17.1 Rebecca I run mscore 2 installed (presumably) from a temporary PPA which I don't remember, perhaps one from https://people.debian.org/~tiago/), and I add that Qt5.4 is installed
From which PPA or .deb do you try to install ?
Actually ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable includes musescore 2.0 (in synaptic search for musescore, not for mscore)

Because I had no hitches and it worked for me in Wine without a hitch I don't know exactly what may be the issue with your installation.
If your Linux Mint installation is 64bit you may need to set up wine as a 32bit prefix the Arch wiki suggests how to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine#WINEARCH
I may have done this previously as I have installed a number of Windows games in WINE on my Desktop PC.
On my Debian Wheezy 7 32bit laptop I installed wine with the sudo apt-get install wine command and then double clicked on the Musecore download in the file manager and it installed and ran without a hitch.
Otherwise use the PPA for Ubuntu trusty 14.04 as Linux Mint 17.* is based on it https://launchpad.net/~mscore-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mscore-stable

I have now got wine to work - it was a matter of right clicking on the .exe file rather than left clicking. So I now have version musescore 2 on wine - but with no sound. Directly on mint I have musescore 1.3 which is what the software manager gives, I have tried installing musescore 2.0.1 long hand, I have managed to download it what next?

Does Wheezy use synaptic ?
If yes, you should find there musescore 2.0
Don't you ?
About 2.0.1, next is to extract and run. Preferably run from a terminal, to see error messages.

I've just installed MuseScore-2.0.1.msi on my clean Debian Jessie 64-bit install using Wine
You need to install Musescore in Wine32
Enable multiarch and install wine32 (as root) //wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
# dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install wine32Create a 32-bit Prefix (not as root) //wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine#WINEARCH
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.win32 winecfgInstall the msi file with the msiexec command (not as root) //wiki.winehq.org/msiexec
You may need to
cd /Downloadsfirst$ wine32 msiexec /i MuseScore-2.0.1.msimusescore 2.0 runs under Mint17.1 Rebecca 64 on my computer.

you have to add https://launchpad.net/~mscore-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mscore-stable in your software sources. This add musescore 2.0 (caution : not "mscore" but musescore) in synaptic and software manager.

I tried it - I've still got version 1,3, are there long hand commands that i can try?

congratulation....happy end
I have had exactly the same problem nearly one year later, March 11th 2016. I use Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa 64-bit Cinnamon edition. I followed the same commands as flaffa:
INSTALLING: (run these commands from the terminal)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install musescore
The result was MuseScore 1.3
However, about 10 hours later among my other updates in Update Manager was, lo and behold, MuseScore 2.0.2 revision f51dc11 Brilliant! Thank you very much, MuseScore!
In reply to I have had exactly the same by country picker
I have the same experience as country picker.
Followed the sudo install info and later that day I got an update tot musescore 2.02.
Thanks country picker for your message.
