Paying an Edirol PC-50 midi keyboard with MuseScore

Hello,

I am new to Linux, but would dearly love to use an Edirol PC-50 keyboard with it, as the computer battery life is extremely good, so no power cables needed. I am running Ubuntu 8.04. The keyboard works without problem using the Roland driver and Sonar under XP.

Could you please tell me - can I plug in the keyboard and play music with your program, or do i need other software as well?

Here are some outputs after plugging in the keyboard which might be useful to those who know about these things!
