Install musescore on Ubuntu Flavors (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.)

To install musescore on ubuntu flavors, like lubuntu or xubuntu, it might be the easiest, to use wine to install it. The "normal" way by using the repository did not work for me on Lubuntu 12.04, that means it did not install the latest version 2.0

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you don't see the menu entry it might be necessary to install latex, dvips, pstoedit. In Ubuntu you can open a terminal (Ctrl + T) and insert following line (followed by the enter key. You are asked for your root password.)
