Make sure you don't have a MIDI loop on your system - a case where the output of MuseScore is routed back to its input. See Edit / Preferences / I/O from within MuseScore, but also the settings of any other MIDI software or hardware you are using.

Marc, your name rang a bell. I am the author of the MiBAC Music Software programs. My partner at the time the business started was Malcolm Lynn Baker who taught at Lamont after he left Carleton. Lynn is an excellent jazz saxophonist. Lynn developed the jazz riffs and chord voicings and I wrote the software for the MiBAC Jazz Improvisation software back in 1987. Lynn did not get tenure at Carleton and sold his part of the business to me. I wrote the Music Lessons I and II software for Mac and Windows after Lynn left. If you run into Lynn say hi to him for me. John

Hi, nice "small world" story! Lynn recruited me as a grad student at DU and then hired me to teach there after graduation. This then set into motion a whole chain of events that ultimately led to my doing what I do today. As you presumably know, Lynn retired from DU a few years back, and I actually left around that same time as well. Lynn has since moved out of state, but I see him on Facebook and will send your regards :-)
