Musescore | Yamaha PSR-E353 Keyboard | Ubuntu 16.04
I am endeavoring to connect a brand new Yamaha PSR-E353 keyboard to Musescore under Ubuntu 16.04
My immediate goals are note input and score playing through the Yamaha. Later I would like to learn midi basics.
After connecting the keyboard to the computer Musescore did not recognize notes.
Previously under 15.04 I installed whatever drivers that were needed to run VMPK. I am assuming they survived the upgrade.
So, I think I have the needed drivers for the Yamaha? But, I do not know how to confirm that.
I found several discussions for connecting Yamaha keyboards and Linux OS's but I could not determine the paths or outcome in those discussions.
So. Is what I am trying to accomplish possible?
If so what do I need to do?
All guidance will be appreciated.

Some updates
I "found" function 32 PC mode.
I believe I have toggled it correctly because the display show PC1, and the keys are dead.
sudo lsusb shows Ubuntu 16.04 recognizes the keyboard.
Last
musescore is already the newest version (2.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1)
Next I am wondering about the sound server settings in Ubuntu and Musescore.
It seems like something is not connecting internally?
Apologies if this is too obvious and you have already checked but where things like MIDI and car electrics are concerned, nothing is too obvious:
Edit ->Preferences ->Note Input: ensure "Enable MIDI input" is checked.
