Yes, but only with one trivial patch, where I didn't fill out the PR
template. (This won't really tell you anything interesting, other than
they accepted it from me that way:
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5732 )

Thanks for working on this. I haven't had time to review most of it,
though I'd comment, from looking at the first five patches, if they
accepted from me without the PR template (albeit years ago), I'd hope
they'd just take those as-is, too.

(I hadn't got around to updating it myself to version 4 for a few
reasons, some of which might not matter now. 4 -- at the time I'd
looked at it -- had removed various functionality that some users
weren't happy about. And they'd removed some of the audio infra
capabilities, so we have to use ALSA, as you've handled.)

Regards,

Dave
