Musescore MIDI out in Ubuntu Studio 10.04?

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

I'm not sure I will ever need it, but getting MIDI stuff out of 
Musescore seems nice, and I was trying to get it connected to a Virtual 
MIDI keyboard (as in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jlej7cnQA), but I 
cannot get it to work.

I have Ubuntu Studio 10.04, VMPK version 0.3.0, and Musescore 0.9.6.2 
(revision 3400). What I did:

* In Musescore I go to preferences->I/O and select "Use JACK MIDI 
output". Quit MuseScore (screenshot at:

* Start JACK

* Start VMPK

* Start MUSESCORE

In the Jack Audio Connection Kit "Connections" view, I see "Mscore1" in 
the MIDI tab as readable client, but VMPK Input only shows in the ALSA 
tab, so I cannot connect them. (screenshot at:

Does somebody know if I'm doing something wrong (or forgetting to do 
some extra step)?.

By the way, in case I try to connect them directly with Patchage, I get 
the message "Cannot connect Jack audio port to Alsa Midi port!", so is 
it considering the "mscore-midi-1" as a Jack audio port??? (screenshot

Any help appreciated,
