Connecting to VMPK in Ubuntu
Hi, I'm using Musescore for the sheet music and Virtual Midi Piano Keyboard(VMPK) for playing the keyboard input & output. I'm using both in Ubuntu 13.04. But I don't know how to connect both. may I know how can I get the Musescore output in VMPK, and VMPK output in Musescore ? I have qjackctl and qsynth also. I don't know how to connect musescore and VMPK in qjackctl. I wish to know the jack connection also.
VMPK is working well. Musescore is also working well. But I don't know how to connect both using qjackctl. the connection of musescore in the photo is automatically set by the software itself.that is not working. while playing the notes in musescore, there's no keystrokes in VMPK. but when playing Midi files, after connecting kmidimon to VMPK, the keystrokes are visible. I'm expecting such an output from Musescore also.
thank you.

What about the MIDI tab in qjackctl? You might want to see http://musescore.org/en/node/8000 even if it's for windows users.

Nothing is there in the MIDI tab :-(
I had some success previously using a program called Patchage (available from Ubunutu Software Centre) which allows you to visually connect and disconnect MIDI devices but I very soon found it much quicker and easier to use the computer keyboard for note entry as I kept having to go back and correct problems with the MIDI-entered notes.

I have Patchage. But don't know how to connect the right combination. I tried some combinations. but it's not working. I think that's the same problem with qjackctl. can you give me a screenshot/photo how the musescore-vmpk connection looks like in patchage ?

It has been a long time since used VMPK and Patchage - possibly in version 10.04 of ubuntu. Now using 12.04 I tried VMPK today and it stuck on the first note (i.e. the note just appeared to be held down even after releasing the mouse key) then crashed about 10 seconds later. Subsequently trying to select a different instrument in VMPK caused a blank dialogue box to appear and then it crashed again. So, I can't get VMPK to work I'm afraid.

I think it is common. when such stuck occurs, i press the stop/start button in the qjackctl. and again.
I have a solution!
