    Seems like a problem with changes in Qt. If not reported before, I can
    by request send all the information according to prescription.

    Here is output from the failure:

    FAILED: src/importexport/bww/CMakeFiles/iex_bww.dir/Unity/unity_0_cxx.cxx.o

    I think there's a bug related to this, but not 100% certain. Try compiling with -fPIC, or better keyword media-sound/musescore-4.5.2 for now which is about to be moved to the stable portage tree.

    -fPIC is a compiler flag, not a USE flag.


    Ever since the change from MuseScore 3 to MuseScore 4, the developers have been pushing an AppImage binary download on their webpage as the primary means of installation on Linux, going so far as to discourage installation from a package manager. Of course this doesn’t facilitate USE flags or anything of the like, but you may find it more stable.

    I have tried using MuseScore on a few distributions from various package managers and I am sad to report that I have encountered numerous issues on every attempt. It seems that MuseScore 4 incurred a major hit to
    reliability when compared with MuseScore 3. These seem to me to be issues rooted within MuseScore’s development and nothing else.

    Cheers,

    It may be worth trying snap or flatpak to install and run musescore - unless or until a Gentoo binhost package becomes available one day.
