A follow-up to my previous message (sorry about the segmentation)
I recompiled the same snapshot withOUT jack.
Does not appear to fix the MIDI input.
The error message still occurs upon [Input] -> [Midi input]
("No MIDI in device was found...")
Prior to that selection AND after it, nothing happens when I press the MIDI
keyboard (while cursored into a staff to edit notes)
Is it worth compiling the newest snapshot? I will seek to try it on MS windows
as well, will report result.
