MuseScore

The MuseScore icon doesn't scale if the user selects a non-default icon size in Linux (at least on Ubuntu 15.04). This is important extreme display sizes (e.g. on large screens or mobile devices). See attached photos.

Note: non-standard icon sizes already appear to be available with the source code as PNGs which are probably used on Windows and Mac, but Ubuntu supports SVG icons so it might simply be sufficient to replace the current 64x64px "mscore.png" with a vector image.

This might technically be a job for the Linux package maintainers, but I thought I'd post it here in case it affects multiple Linux distributions.

Using MuseScore 2.0 on Ubuntu 15.04 from the PPA
