Will NOT run on Linux Mint 21 (on 8-5-2022) due to float error. This is version 3.1. Version 3.2 is needed for Ubuntu 22.04-based distros. Wait for Frescobaldi 3.2 (or use Flatpack version, already version3.2.)

Clicking on note in rendering window does not link to location in source file, Firefox starts instead. UPDATE - Fixed this - it was an issue with capital letters in file names. Project was imported from windows, where this is no problem
