VLC Film Scoring Sync Plugin V2

• Mar 20, 2025 - 08:14

This seems worth a new post, as much of the old one is obsolete. The plugin now references Musescore's playback time, thanks to Casper Jeukendrup, making a true sync possible, and making the old playback staff thing unnecessary.

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.

Auto-sync VLC syncs Musescore and VLC to the same time on play (sometimes VLC takes a second or so to sync up) and then stops them both when you pause in Musescore.
