Hi, I'm also interested in music notation programs, and had not come across mScore before. I've downloaded the sources, and am in the process of building an Ubuntu package for it, which I will then upload to my PPA[0]. I find it strange that they bundle FluidSynth sources in their tarball, but I've patched the build process to use the shared library from Ubuntu. I never know why upstreams bundle libraries, when they could just depend on them as shared objects. If they need patches, then send them further upstream!
