Piano keyboard does not play in Musescore 4
I have installed Musescore 4 and I have tried different soundfonts and VSTs.
However, when I press some keys in the Piano keyboard I do not hear any sound.
Any idea on how to resolve the issue?

Make sure you have entered at least 1 note in the score first or activate Note Entry mode and then use the Piano keyboard.

Thanks for your reply.
I have attached one example that I am using.
If I open the Piano keyboard and play some notes I hear no sound.
I have also tried to select some notes or an entire measure first, but I still can't hear sound when I use the Piano keyboard.

This works fine with this score on my system. Maybe post a message in the Support and bugs forum (https://musescore.org/en/forum/6)? You might get more replies/help there.

Maybe you have turned off "Play notes when editing"

That was the problem!
Yes, I had that option turned off.
I have now turned it on and (after selecting at least one note in the score or activating Note entry mode) I can hear the sound when I use the Piano keyboard.
In the previous versions of Musescore, I could use the keyboard without hearing notes when editing the score (that I find quite annoying and useless for me).
Do you know why this was changed in Musescore 4?

Huh? Just turn it off again

Yes, but I would need to turn it on again whenever I use the piano keyboard.
I generally use both keyboard and note editing when preparing the score, thus resulting in many turn on/off/on/... operations.

I have just done it.
