Many separate JACK MIDI channels
Hi,
I found musescore yesterday and it's awsome - thank you.
I have a problem.
I want to use VST to have better sound. I use JACK MIDI to go to VST host. ("Chainer")
But it doesn't work, because all tracks from musescore are in one channel.
For example everythink sounds like piano or any instrument i choose vst.
Could you tell me how to separate this channel so that every stave is in separate channel so that trumpet will have its own VST and piano its own etc.
Thanks!

I don't know the answer to that, but I do know you can install better soundfonts than the one that comes with MuseScore. I rather like the one called FluidR3. It's not *as* good as Garritan or the like, but it's not bad at all.
You can't assign a MIDI or Jack port to each staff, but you can have several ports that will get all staves MIDI stream. From there, you can put in your Jack MIDI chain a MIDI filter, depending on your VST host, it can be included.

Ok, great info. Thank you.
But i was looking in google for midi filters and can't find anything. In this post: http://musescore.org/en/node/9813 is a link to midi filter for linux, but i have xp.
Could you help me?
"I want to use VST to have better sound."
VST is a sample set format, just the same as the SoundFont format is.
VST will only give you better sounds if you have better sample sets available.
Likewise, there are excellent sample sets available in SoundFont format.

VST is not a sample set format. VST is an interface and a protocol : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology
You can talk to effects, or instruments (VSTi). A VSTi can be a sample based synth, loading a soundfont or anything else. But it can be any synthesizer, additive, substractive, physical model etc... included hardware. I guess we are talking about VSTi here.
