A plugin for syncing musescore with VLC for film scoring

To set up, go to settings in VLC and enable "HTTP web interface"

Then click "show all" and go to Interface > Main interfaces > Lua > and set password as "Test". You can set it to something else by changing the plugin code.

enter a value in the jump to time section and click "Go" to set Musescore and VLC both to that time. "Play/Pause" starts and stops both apps together from wherever they're currently positioned.

One issue - it has to set Musescore to an existing object, so it can be slightly off in musescore. I use a hidden tempo staff with a bunch of small rests so it always has something to grab on to at the right time. See screenshots. "triangle" is a tempo track.
