MuseScore 3 won't take MIDI Input
I have no idea where to report this, so here I am in general discussion.
I have an Alesis V25 MIDI Keyboard and it worked for note input in 2.3, but it isn't working with 3. Is it not available in 3.0 yet, or do I need to do something to get the program to recognize the device? Please help. Am noob.

I'm no MIDI expert, but I do know there are issues running both version 2 & 3 with a midi device. If you are doing this, you need to decide which version you want to use the midi keyboard and disable it in the other version or never run the two versions at the same time.

I don't have MuseScore 2 anymore. I uninstalled it.

Why?

I don't need it, having MuseScore 3. It's like Dual Booting Windows 8 and 10. It also frees up some storage space.

Not quite like dual boot, as both versions can be used at the same time. Or even all 3 major versions.
But everyone to his own...

I didn't mean that in the sense of I can use whichever. I was trying to say why have windows 8 when 10 can do everything it already does and more? Why have both when I can do everything on MS3 that I would do on 2 and more (or so I thought)?

Because you can't always. You may want to quickly fix a simple typo in a lyrics in a 2.x score quickly, and not have to reevaluate all the layout after import to 3.0.
You may want to use the score in the mobile apps, not yet possible with 3.0

Good point. So am I better of just using 2.3 for MIDI input until it's fixed?

For another example, yes.
MIDI input in general does work in MuseScore 3. What specifically goes wrong? Did you remember to connect your device and turn it on before starting MuseScore? Is it selected in Edit / Preferences / I/O?

When I boot up my computer, the first thing I do is plug in the Alesis V25 MIDI interface through USB. Then, I boot up MuseScore 3 and open my most recent score. I open Edit > Preferences > I/O, but I don't even see the keyboard listed as an option in any dropdown menu. I know it isn't the keyboard because I use that same keyboard frequently with Reaper.

Is it this the same as meanwhile fixed issue: #279203: MIDI Input / Output doesn't work? If so, check an actual nightly version of MuseScore if it works with your midi keyboard.

It works on the nightly build. Thanks!
I have an Akai LPK25 and MuseScore 3.05 on Lubuntu Qt 18.04. No sound input from the keyboard with the default I/O preference (PulseAudio). I switched to Alsa >Apply >OK and now it works perfectly. Thank you for this great software.
