Connect your keyboard, turn it on, start MuseScore, make sure your device is selected for input in Edit / Preferences / I/O. Then enter notes normally, same way as you'd use your computer keyboard or mouse except now you have another way to enter the pitches.

I followed your instructions. The only device I see in the I/O Midi is "USB Midi Interface." But when I get the score ready to receive notes and play the piano, no notes appear on my score. My piano is a 25 to 30 year old Roland. I inherited it from my mother, who I know used it to compose music this way. I appreciate your help.

So to be clear, you see the USB device listed and you are making sure it is selected for input? And by “get the score ready to receive notes”, you mean have selected a start location, entered note note input mode, and selected a duration? At that point you play a. It’s in your keyboard - you you hear it but not see the note appear, or see but not hear it, or neither? What happens if you first press “C” on your computer keyboard to test that everything else is working, then without doing anything else in between, play a “D” on your Roland, then go back to your computer and type “E”?

Yes the device is selected for input. Yes I entered note input mode with selected duration. At that point I play A on my Roland and hear the note but do not see it on my score. When I press "C" on my computer, that note appears on my score. I play D on my Roland as you suggest but no note appears on my score. I go back to my computer and type "E" and the note appears on my score.

OK, that rules out one possibility (that note on messages were being sent but not note off). Other than making sure you have the latest OS updates and drivers I don't know what else to suggest.

I thought maybe it’s not recognizing my device since it only describes it as “USB Device,” not Roland. How do I make sure I have the right drivers?

Do you have "Toogle MIDI Input" checked?
