Okay... that was a good suggestion.
It didn't work... but it was a good suggestion.
I now believe this is an (il)legitimate bug!
I'd be interested to know if ANYONE running Ubuntu has MS version 2.

At this point, I doubt it.
(And perhaps I should've waited, before I contributed all the money I did!! But it 'is' a good program... at least in concept. So I'll try not to be like that... at least not yet.)

Here's what happened:
* I uninstalled it as suggested.
* The repository only listed ver 1.3 :(
* I attempted to reinstall from the latest trusted PPA via terminal.
* Here's where I 'think' it failed (but I'll append the whole verbosity at the end, just in case I'm wrong!).
It seems to have been able to 'get' 20 items... but failed at #21... then perhaps defaulted to installing the pesky-persistent-buggy-version 1.3!:

"W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu/dists/trusty... Unable to find expected entry 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu/binary-i386…' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

I HATE Windows... but perhaps I'll have to set up a special system, 'just' for this! That sucks!... And I hope they fix it soon!!!!!!!!

I'm new here, and hope this is the right place to post stuff for the developers. In any event, here's the whole shebang:

The problem may have been due to software source conflicts that were disabled during upgrade to Trusty.
I removed all references to Musescore under 'System Settings' -> 'Software & Updates' (which I'd tried before, but this time I made sure I refreshed and cleared the cache). I then searched the repository, but still only found v1.3!
I then went to musescore.org and used the terminal method to:
"Linux->
Ubuntu official: Please search for "musescore" in the Ubuntu Software Center, or click here to install directly from your browser. Note that the packages provided by Ubuntu are often not up-to-date - read about Ubuntu backports (below) if you wish to have the most recent version."

That enabled me to successfully retrieve and install version 2.0.0 rev 6e47f74 which doesn't sound like the 'latest'... but is far better than v1.3!
