Right, from what I've seen, the current stable release - 0.7 - doesn't
support inputting notes. If it does, this is unintuitive at best and
buggy if not. I wouldn't recommend something with a key feature missing
as part of the distribution quite yet.

I have also begun the process of building a clean Debian package. I'm
working on linking to the Ubuntu-shipped version of FluidSynth.
Currently, I can build and run with this version and a small enough
patch, but the sound does not come out right (constant buzzing). I will
be looking further at the code to see if I can fix this this weekend. If
not, then looks like mScore will have to be built with its own version
of the synthesiser.

I will also be taking a look at the improvements in the SVN trunk, and
whether that is worth packaging over the 0.7 release: any regressions
would probably be minimal in comparison if note input has been fixed.
