Unknown option when saving music score with MusicVisualizations

Hello,

I am trying to save a music score based on an example from JuliaMusic, but I receive an error for unknown option error in musescore. I am having trouble solving the issue. Here is my code

using MusicManipulations # tools for handling MIDI data
using MusicVisualizations # to be able to access MuseScore

kick = "Low Floor Tom"
snare = "Acoustic Snare"
stick = "Side Stick"
hihat = "Closed Hi-Hat"

tpq = 960          # Duration of a quarter note in ticks
subdiv = tpq ÷ 8     # note subdivision duration (32nd notes)
patlen = 8 * subdiv  # pattern length

A = DrumNote(snare, 0, subdiv; velocity = 100)
R = DrumNote(hihat, 0, subdiv; velocity = 70)
L = DrumNote(stick, 0, subdiv; velocity = 70)
K = DrumNote(kick,  0, subdiv; velocity = 80)

"""
Combine the given notes into a notes that start sequentially.
"""
function make_pattern(v::Vector{<:AbstractNote})
    n = Notes([v[1]], 960)
    for i in 2:length(v)
        push!(n, translate(v[i], (i-1)*subdiv))
    end
    return n
end

p1 = make_pattern([K, L, L, R, R, L, L, K])
p2 = make_pattern([A, L, L, R, R, L, L, K])

x = combine([p1, translate(p2, patlen)])
musescore("another.png", x)

Here is the error message

In MuseScore 3, -n / --new-score was a documented option. In MuseScore 4 (“MuseScore Studio”), several legacy command line switches were removed or changed, and current documentation/bug reports show options disappearing or being rejected as “don’t exist” in 4.x. That’s why MuseScore 4 prints “Unknown option ‘n’” and exits with status 1, which Julia surfaces as failed process .Appears to be still an open issue.
