Hi,
I'm trying to use MuseScore on OpenSuse 12.1. I downloaded the package from OBS Factory. It installed fine, but when I try to play a score, nothing happens. I started from the commandline and there I see an error :
mscore Alsa_driver: the interface doesn't support mmap-based access. init ALSA audio driver failed init ALSA driver failed init audio driver failed sequencer init failed registerPlugin: add action idx 2 Load plugin: no menu property
It seems the built-in synth is the only one I can use although I have fluidsynth installed and functioning.
I tried building MuseScore from the source-rpm, but that fails on about 32%. I can give more details if needed.
Any suggestions how to solve this ?
The only option for using external MIDI synths with MuseScore is using Jack MIDI. MuseScore doesn't support ALSA Sequencer MIDI output. You need to configure and start Jack (with Jack MIDI support) before starting MuseScore. The best way to configure and start the Jack server with MIDI support is using QJackCtl, available in the standard repository. FluidSynth supports Jack MIDI as well, but you need to start it with the right options (fluidsynth -m jack). Again, the easiest way is using a GUI program like QSynth.
