Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
I acknowledge that Wayland is considered experimental, but I'll report the issue anyway to help to improve its support.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open MuseScore with
MU_QT_QPA_PLATFORM=waylandon Linux - Open any score
- The entire UI looks correct, but the entire page/score is offset to the right instead of displaying at the center of the window
- Start playback
- The cursor appears in (probably) correct position relative to the window, but incorrect related to the score.
Environment: Fedora 43, GNOME 49, 4K screen, 166% scaling

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore 4.6.3 on Fedora 43 with GNOME 49, 4K scaling, and MU_QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, then open a score and start playback. Trace the score positioning and playback-cursor behavior under Wayland; done means the score is centered and the cursor aligns with it.
