MuseScore as a VST too Hard to Do ?

It would help heaps to have a Musescore VST to open your sheet/midi and to sync with the host tempo & SPP, This would be especially handy for recording and production in the DAW.
Can someone say if it's a pipe dream or if it's entirely possible ?

Thanks.

I think to start with so it's not too much work fully integrating it, just have it as a player that you load the musescoerVST into a DAW track then open any supported musescore file Musescore, Midi, BB, Guitar Pro etc.. in the musescoerVST.
As you can work on, create or edit your score in the standalone first.
As you record/play in your DAW it will sync with the host temp & SPP thus moving the cursor in sync to the host cursor displaying the notation/chords to record, create drum track, fit loops to.
Giving a real time Notation/Chord Track for easy production in any DAW.

Thanks for your interest.

Hmm - not sure that's doable.

The MuseScore internal format is xml somewhat akin to an extended MusicXML format.

Most DAWs are using a combination of MIDI and audio to produce their tracks.

The problem being that the performance data being held by MIDI differs widely from the instructions to print music on paper/screen, and audio is raw sound data, which is unprocessable by MuseScore.

There would need to be some sort of intermediary translation for this to work well.

Indeed integration with a DAW is very handy.
But, I don't know if doing it as a VST is the way to go.

Currently I'm using Notion with Reaper, Studio One and Sonar
via Rewire.
Works ok, and I believe that's the way to go for Musescore as well.

Else it has to be a tightly integrated way.

If you can give some more information on how to use musescore as a slave with other DAW's it would be much appreciated.
The only way I can find is to screen capture musescore playing all the way through then drag it in as a video track, so unless musescore adds video export . .

Thanks.
