I am using a MIDI keyboard with MuseScore 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 15.04 just fine, but I can't speak for 14.04.
Try this... in Edit -> Preferences: - Under "Note Input" tick the "Enable MIDI Input" checkbox. - Under "I/O" select "ALSA audio". Now restart MuseScore and then plug in the keyboard and switch it on. IMPORTANT NOTE: You must always start MuseScore BEFORE you plug in and switch on the MIDI keyboard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to musescore in Ubuntu.

Any ideas how to work out this problem? Thank you in advance, Marco p.s.: removing 2.0 and installing 1.3 solve the problem, MIDI is working without problems with the old version of Musescore. My solution at the moment ist to work with 1.3 in Ubuntu and to use 2.0.1 with Wine.
