Way to hear notes played on keyboard while playback mode is engaged?
I'm looking for a way to be able to hear the notes that I'm playing on my MIDI keyboard while Musescore plays back what I've already entered. Basically, I want to be able to noodle over my existing partially written composition to try out new ideas. However, when playback is running, none of the notes I press on my keyboard are played on the speaker. Is there a way to hear both playback and MIDI input at the same time?

So the opposite of what has been asked for in #106881: make it possible to disable MIDI playthrough (aka MIDI thru or MIDI echo)?

From what I understand in this bug report, the user was having this trouble during note entry, not during playback. Ie, he had a synthesizer that would play notes when he pressed them and Musescore was playing them at the same time. The option the bug refers to will stop notes from being played during note entry.
What I'm looking for is a way for notes to be played during playback. At the moment, the MIDI thru seems to be automatically disabled during playback.

disable during note entry vs. enable during playback does seem to be the exact opposite to me ;-)
I would like it very much if this was possible!
Maybe i have missed something but I can't find how to enable midi play along

I am not aware of a way to do this in MuseScore, but it should be possible to use another program to do the real-time playback. Or listen to your keybaords built-in sounds, if any.

I have been using my pianos built in sounds, but i just got a midi-controller without any builtin sounds. And that setup is sub-optimal since I won't necessarily get the same sound as in MuseScore, and it a bit of a hassle :P
It would be a really nice feature to have but it is not vital.

Very late I know, but may be useful to some people.
Add a new blank stave to the score. I add a Piano and then remove the Bass Clef.
Move the Piano stave to the top of the score so that it is usually visible.
Select any bar in the new piano stave and play your keyboard.
In the Mixer you may need to set the Piano to highish volume and the Instruments in the Score to lowish volume to hear the Piano. You can change the Instrument in the "Piano" to whatever you want. BTW the Instrument in the score probably was playing at very low volume
