Difficulty retaining midi input and output settings

• May 4, 2025 - 16:56

I am just getting started with Musescore 4.5.2 (former Finale user) and am exploring midi note entry. I was able to find my Roland keyboard on the drop down lists for both, and enter some notes using the keyboard, but when I started over with a new document those fields were no longer filled. The keyboard is still listed on the dropdown list, but when I select it nothing happens--the field remains blank. What do I need to do to get Musescore to retain my midi settings?

Thank you!

After further exploration I've found that if I open Musescore with my keyboard attached and on and create a score, the MIDI input and output boxes are correctly filled with my Roland keyboard and everything works. IF, however, I then start a NEW score, those boxes are unpopulated, and when I try to select my keyboard from the dropdown list, it never seems to register, and while I can hear notes played on my keyboard through the computer, nothing gets entered on the staff. Does this mean that I must always close and then re-open Musescore when I want to work on a different score?
