[LAU] Musical Score Editors - some advice for beginners

[Werner Schweer]

The main purpose of MuseScore is to produce printed scores. Using external 
synthesizers is on the wish list but has low priority. The plan is to remove 
the current alsa midi output and replace it with JACK midi.
MuseScore is a cross platform application available for Linux, Windows and Mac 
which complicates things a little bit.
 
If alsa midi output does not work, you can export  your score to midi and use
an external midiplayer/sequencer.
