I had a look at the specifications of the keyboard and I am sure it is sufficient
for Musescore. as it has MIDI and 61 keys is a good size.

When buying a keyboard to connect to a computer you need to consider
if you want a stand along keyboard such as the Casio which has its own sounds.
At least you can play the piano and explore music making, then connect to
Musescore when you are ready to capture your score.

Greatz

I Buyed, its very cool, the casio was recognized by kernel, and jack automatic, i dont test in windows yet, maybe another day.

I m very happy =)

The keyboard have a "local" mode set, if you want disable sounds from keyboard and let the software set output. I test with bristol and alsa.

Now, greatz folks i set the configuration as:

In I/O tab i disable Jack Out, and Jack Server.
In Alsa i set True
Portaudio let untouched.

The Pro Point is, Its very better write score and very easy.
The Against Point is, no sound output by Musescore, :\

The time note and pause is need set in pc changing and choicing in musescore.
I was think in use the qsynth or another softsynth to output sounds in musescore i think is a good suggestion.
