You need a bridge between alsa midi and jack midi. a2jmidid will do the trick. The connect jack midi out from mscore to a2j:vmpk:in
Tip: To get a2jmidid up and running every time you start jack (it doesn't hurt when you don't need it), in qjackctl, execute after server start: "a2jmidid &" (add -e option to a2jmidid if you have a real midi keyboard). > > > By the way, in case I try to connect them directly with Patchage, I > get the message "Cannot connect Jack audio port to Alsa Midi port!", > so is it considering the "mscore-midi-1" as a Jack audio port??? > (screenshot at: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/angelv/5351273007/in/set-72157625688106445/) This seems like a bug in your patchage version, which is very old. I strongly recommend you update it. This is a PPA with a much more recent version of patchage for lucid: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra Cheers!
