Using Pianoteq VST for real time playback with MuseScore 3.x
It works!
Just be sure to turn the mixer Master Gain right down for MuseScore playback (as shown) and all you hear is Pianoteq, (unless you want a mix of both!)

Excellent knews! I want to see if I can manage the same result on MacOS. There's likely something like LoopMIDI for MacOS ... possibly built into Audio-MIDI setup.
I use PianoTeq mainly for its modeled VST nylon string guitars and they work great in MuseScore 4, but I find the MS4's regressions outweigh the benefits, so I stick with MuseScore 3.6.2 or MuseScore Evolution (aka MuseScore 3.7).

I can't find a MacOS equivalent to LoopMIDI but JACK MIDI looks promising and there is a JACK section in MS3's I/O preferences.
I'm going to try routing MS3 MIDI out Cakewalk next to see if that works as well as Pianoteq.
Yes, the nylon guitar in Pianoteq is impressive and very customisable. Pianoteq is also RAM friendly as all its instruments are mathematically modelled on real instruments rather than on gigabytes of samples. Even the free instruments are very good.
