Bug#795442: musescore: does not honor /etc/papersize

[brian m. carlson]

Package: musescore
Version: 2.0.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

/etc/papersize is set to "letter", but attempting to print to my printer
(or to a file) causes it to attempt to print A4.  Moreover, immediately
after setting it to Letter and printing, attempting to print again makes
it go right back to A4, so it doesn't remember my settings, unlike every
other program.

While I understand that A4 is used by most of the world and is an
international standard (and I agree is desirable than Letter), I live in
the United States and only have Letter paper.  The fact that it doesn't
preserve the settings in the print dialog would not be so bad, but it
doesn't honor /etc/papersize, which makes printing very frustrating.

All software on Debian systems, including musescore, should honor
/etc/papersize, as it avoids this problem wholesale.  Please fix
musescore so it honors this setting.
