MIDI Keyboard Input on V 0.9.6
I am unable to get Musescore to accept input from a MIDI keyboard.
Running WIndows XP, SP2
JackServer 0.3.4.10
Steps used.
Start Jack server
Start Musescore.
In Jack Connect Musescore output to Systemplayback 1
In Jack Connect System Capture to Systemplayback 1 (only port visible)
On Musescore, press play. Keyboard Plays
Press N to go into note entry. Press keys on MIDI keyboard - No response.
I have done a Factory restore.
I've attached a screen shot of both Jackserver and the connect screen and the IO ports screen in Musescore.
Note that on the I/O screen, the DropDownBox for Choose PortMidi Input is blank. It does not contain any items.
Can someone give me some direction on this? In the prior version of Musescore, I had MIDI input, but no output.
Thanks
Tim

As MuseScore 0.9.6, it's not possible to use a keyboard for both playback (via Jack) and note entry (via PortMidi).

I guess given the choice between one or the other, I would prefer input. Can someone help me on that? Why PortMidi is blank?

You need to select PortAudio for Audio out to have access to PortMid combo. Reboot after the changes.

of PortAudio and Downloaded a pre-compiled .DLL named PABIO.DLL from the PortAudio site. I put it in the Bin directory under Musescore and while I have PortAudio Selected, the drop down boxes for them are still blank. I have a feeling it is something about installing the DLL, or adding a reference to it somewhere. Can any one help me? I do not have a compiler to do anything with the PortAudio Source Code, and there is nothing in the MuseScore manual that is helpful.
Thanks in advance.

PortAudio is included with MuseScore. There shouldn't be any need do download any .dll files or compile unless you are interested in writing code for PortAudio.

Remove the DLL you added. You don't need anything !
What I meant
Your IO tab should look like the attached one.

I did follow your instructions step by step. While I have PortAudio Checked, after the restart of MuseScore, The drop down for API and Device are still blank as is the 'Choose PortAudio Input Interface.

Is jack unchecked? Can you make a screenshot of your IO preferences as I did ?
