Is midi input ok in the 2.0 Beta 1?

I tried to type some notes via my MIDI keyboard. No way. Looks like 2.0 Beta 1 does not recognize any MIDI input. I immediately tested with MS 1.0 just to see if my system settings were wrong, and found out that MS 1.3 works fine (so my keyboard is sending MIDI as espected and my PC is receiving it properly). Could you please check if the problem is just mine or if it is a general one? Did someone else incur in the same problem?

Did you (re)start MuseScore after connecting the MIDI cable?

It is not required, as my PC is always connected to its Audio/MIDI card, and the MIDI cable is always plugged in. The only device that was not "on" when I launched MS is the keyboard itself. Do you think I should switch it "on" in advance and THEN launch MS? It would be a very weird behaviour, but who knows? I'll give this procedure a try, just in case.

Yes, Aldo.

Runnig Win7, I've the same problem. keyboard (Keystation49) midi input works in MS1.3, BUT not MS 2.0 Beta !. Reluctant to try that suggested 64 bit build workaround. Reminds me too much of Linux monkey business that could take days.

Did you start things in the right order? First connect keybaord, then start MuseScore? Also make sure you didn't disable MIDI input on the toolbar (icon ewith picture of old-style midi plug, next to "Page View". Should work fine and did last time I tried.

There doesn't appear to be anyway to set MIDI output device for Linux in (at least) 654009a: MuseScore Preferences Window.jpg

MuseScore does not support direct MIDI out. It does support MIDI ouput via Jack, as shown in your settings. Then you can configure Jack (which is a totally spearate program you need to have installed and running) to talk to your MIDI device.

Thanks Marc.

I'd looked at that via the Jack Audio Connection Kit, but the piece I was missing there was: "a2jmidid" which sets up bridges between hardware MIDI (i.e ALSA MIDI) and software MIDI (i.e. Jack MIDI).
