A two minute search found this:
Is Flatpak tied to systemd?
No. Versions of flatpak before 0.6.10 relied on systemd for cgroups setup, but this is no longer required.]
This I knew. While Flatpak isn't tied to systemd, that doesn't mean that it in principle couldn't be pulled in as a depend for the individual flatpak. I am unsure as how deep the depends for the individual flatpak are pulled in, when one can assume that many programs are coded to "take advantage of" systemd. Or am I misunderstanding something?

This brings up the issue of Flatpaks as an alternative to AppImages. Is it possible to use Flatpaks and ensure that systemd stays off my system?

$ ./MuseScore-2.1-x86_64.AppImage
/tmp/.mount_lNQqEe/bin/mscore-portable: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisfile.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
OK, so the reason is that it is lacking a bunch of dependencies like vorbis-tools, libsound files, pulse audio, etc. It looks like it probably best if I choose a less minimalist Devuan derivative. Anyway, thanks for your time.

OK, I tried Subsurface and it runs in place, but refuses to install to all users sudo ./Musescore 2.1 AppImage install. This seems to suggest that there is something with Musescore that refuses to work. I know that it has QT dependencies when it is installed as a .deb file. I will try to find an answer on their forum and post the reply here.

Devuan is fantastic. kudos to the team behind it!
Normally, running sudo ./Musescore 2.1 AppImage install (or whatever the file is called) will install a working version of the program on my system. I tried this with a Miyo i3 Jessie 64bit (Devuan based) system and while everything appears to have gone to the correct place, the program doesn't seem to work, no matter how I try to run it (menu, comman, clicking on the executable image (yes, I ran chmod +x on it). Don't AppImages work on Devuan or is there something with the way this program has been packaged that makes it incompatible with Devuan based systems (systemd dependence)?
