midi input
Hello,
I'm having trouble using the midi input functionality. I can input notes via midi, but the display lags horribly. In fact I can't see any notes until after I leave the note input mode. That is, I select the bar, then note input mode (default rhythmic value), then play a sequence of notes. At this point, the display shows nothing. If I leave note input mode, I see my notes, which of course is a very unintuitive UI. What could be wrong with my setup? Thanks
Shane

Which version of MuseScore are you using ? on which OS ?
In reply to Which version of MuseScore by [DELETED] 5
MuseScore 0.9.6 rev 2613. OS: Ubuntu Studio 10.04 LTS. My MIDI controller is an M-Audio Axiom49 with USB-MIDI and the soundcard is an M-Audio FastTrack interface.
I also notice that there is something messed up with the playback. When the JACK audio server is running, MuseScore can't playback. Annoyingly, edit/preferences/i-o and enabling JACK is too buggy to function. If I try to set this option while JACK is running, MuseScore freezes and I have to kill it. If I set this option before JACK is started, MuseScore 'forgets' that it has been set. Even more annoying is that I can't get the Axiom MIDI controller to playback without JACK, so the only way I can use MuseScore is both 'blind' and 'deaf'.

You are using an early beta version of 0.9.6. Upgrade to the latest stable version (currently 0.9.6.2). To update MuseScore on Ubuntu read about the "stable backports repository" on the download page of this website.

Things are better now after upgrading. I can use MuseScore with the MIDI controller now. It still doesn't work when JACK is running and I still can't enable JACK under edit/preferences/i-o/use_internal_synthesizer (MuseScore just hangs if I do). But at this point, I don't really care.
