My Roland BK-3 isn't sticking
Hi! I just got a Roland BK-3 keyboard, and had hoped to use it as (among other things) a sound module for MuseScore. I've followed the instructions for connecting it: plug in the USB cable and turn the keyboard on; then open MuseScore and go to Edit > Preferences, click I/O, and under MIDI Input and MIDI Output pull down the menu to "MMSystem,BK-3" in each; then hit "OK."
It doesn't connect. The BK-3 obviously does register as present, but playback will only come from my desktop speakers. If I open Preferences again, the MIDI Input and MIDI Output spaces are blank. I can re-enter the BK-3 and hit Apply, and it appears to work, but as soon as I leave the Preferences dialog it's not there any more.
I've tried rebooting the Audio and MIDI from the program, re-loading the driver, rebooting my computer, turning the keyboard off and back on, and everything else along those lines that I can think of.
They keyboard has some really awesome sounds that I'm sure I could make great use of, but this is stopping me from doing so.

See: #308469: New post Changing audio output device frustrating - selections disappear and the workaround->try changing any other setting (like the MIDI output latency). Then you can press Apply, and Restart, and OK
And upgrade if not already done:https://musescore.org/en/download

I'd tried that earlier, and tried it again just now, as described and in a few variations, just to be sure. No luck -- the other settings change, but that one remains blank. (Thanks for trying, though.)

Addendum: I'd checked for an upgrade, but the program said there wasn't one. Working on that part now.

Yup. The upgrade's what it took, after all.

Now if I can just get it to not send sound through the speakers at the same time, I'll be a totally happy camper. ;)

System Mixer Settings?
P.s. (OT) the limit of 5 scores on .com has been removed...

Removing the soundfont from View / Synthesizer works.
