I’m using MusE, an audio production application. You can download the AppImage [here](https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/releases/download/4.0.0/MusE-4.0.0-x86_64.AppImage). The performance is OK, by the way, I use **Debian 11**.

In MusE you can modify the sounds it uses for metronome. In its official documentation [explains](https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/wiki/Documentation#metronome-configuration) how to achieve this process.

The problem is the path that MusE reads to load custom sounds: `share/muse-4.0/metronome`

The developers wrote that info for compiled version or versions from OS repositories. Well, I tried two possible paths but I can’t load my sounds:

```auto
~/.config/MusE/MusE/metronome/
~/.local/share/muse-4.0/metronome/

```

What is the correct path for AppImage reads my metronome customizations?

That’d be a question for the MusE authors to answer. Just because MusE runs inside an AppImage it is not magically loading things from different paths.

The documentation says:

> A few sound samples are bundled with MusE to be used as metronome sound. If you have a favourite metronome sound it is also possible to copy this file as a .WAV to the metronome folder in the local configuration directory `$HOME/.config/MusE/MusE/metronome` , the supplied metronome samples are placed under the installation directory in `share/muse-4.0/metronome` .

`share/muse-4.0/metronome` is not a full path. Do they mean `/usr/share/muse-4.0/metronome` or `$HOME/.local/share/muse-4.0/metronome`?
