Piano legato
I recognize that MuseScore is notation software, however is there any way that on playback a piano can play a smooth legato line as opposed to the always detached quality I get regardless of the markings I place in the score.

Legato playback is not (yet) implemented

Slurred and non slurred notes are in fact sounding different but probably not enough to make a difference?
There has been discussion concerning bringing back easier user control (available in MuseScore 1.3) for note on-time and note off-time.
See:

Presently, you can try a note-by-note adjustment using the Pianoroll Editor, via right click on a staff.
To make a note sound more legato, you can increase its 'Len' parameter.
Regards.

I tried to be a pianist, time ago, but... virtuosity wasn't for me. Hahahahaha!!!
Any way, it's so hard to get a good "legato" with mechanical keyboards (piano, etc). The piano natural way to produce the sound is against the "legato" idea.
Of course, it is possible in the real world (virtuous pianists), and it is very easy with MIDI sequencers (even, maybe, too much perfect).
BUT... I can't get it from the MuseScore piano roll. I guess it is something related with the soundfont files, or the MuseScore synthesizer, itself.
Real world MIDI sequencer has an special MIDI value to control this. Up my limited knowledge, MuseScore doesn't use that value.
That's life!!!
