i typed ldd mscore in terminal and got a long list of dependencies,

but no missing file messages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT : i was wrong, there was one file missing...

libjack.so.0

i downloaded libjack0 from ubuntu repo. but mscore still isn't finding libjack.so.0

can someone tell me where it resides on your system?

maybe it is just a path issue.

Hi alphamale,
...as your insisting getting it running on slacko, here you are:
The following extra files need being installed for getting Musescore-1.0-lucid525.pet or .sfs running on slacko:
- celt-0.7.1-i486-1dj.txz here http://download.salixos.org/i486/13.37/salix/l/celt-0.7.1-i486-1dj.txz
- jack-1.9.6-i486-2tm.txz here http://www.slackware.org.uk/salix/i486/13.37/salix/ap/jack-1.9.6-i486-2tm.txz
- libsamplerate-0.1.7-q1.pet here http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/libsamplerate-0.1.7-q1.pet
this tested on a fresh slacko 5.3.0.1

Musescore here running out off the box with menu entry + sound !!
ps: this might also work on wary.
Hope this helps
Have fun !
Charlie

All right! I've been using NtEd 1.0.18, but I've been finding some dismaying bugs and the author hasn't responded to my e-mails. Now I discover that MuseScore has active user forums and apparently better features than NtEd. I'd like to give it a try, but I'd like to try version 1.1 (the latest) if possible. Um, do you think anyone here might be putting together a MuseScore 1.1 .pet or .sfs soon?

[angelsguitar]

Musescore 1.1 has been out for a while. Any plans on building a pet or sfs for Musescore 1.1?

[nooby]

So if I get it??? This is a puppy version of MuseScore
or rather the puppy version of Mscore? How is that one
different from MuseScore original?

So if one take notes from a site and put into this
program than it play the music? That would be awesome.

I would love to hear how this guy's sounded but only find
the notes as scores?

But maybe them are too different in notation? So them will
not play? hehe the download is very slow of the .sfs

[vovchik]

Dear nooby,

You don't need a heavyweight program meant for composers scoring symphonies to listen to John-Erik Mattssons' music. I downloaded all the midi files and archived them (attached). You just need a midi player that uses soundfonts if you want to hear the pieces with any kind of reasonable sound. Timidity and Fluidsynth play midi files and make use of soundfonts. Enjoy:)

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. My version of musescore (1.0) has an import plugin that permits the import of ABC files, and a slew of other formats, including musicxml.

Hi nooby,

i think you have already everything to hear these files.

You can use LazY Puppy 528 (it has Nted 1.10.18 build in).

Load the Audio-Midi.sfs.

Run Jack Audioconnection in menu>multimedia and then click start (if it will ot start use alsa audio wizard, works without rebooting).

start bristol gui in sfs applications menu and choose tab Jack.

choose sub-tab synthesizer O-S and run rhodes.(best to start mostly, there is an option in nted to transpose (-12, +12) the sound, which sometimes gives better results, couldn't find it yet).

start nted.

menu>file>import midi

go to connect at jack and connect the audio out left/right of bristol & brighton with playbacks alsa_pcm. 1 & 2 (tag audio)

connect midi output of nted with bristol and brighton. (tag midi)

change midi channel in nted to channel 1 (rightclick in nted, free space beteween scores in every instrument., tab midi)

click play button in nted - you should now hear music.

you can stop nted and changing the synthesizers to hear other sounds without doing the rest of the procedure again (no again connecting with jack audio and midi). do only use the jack synthesizers.

works nice and sometimes it is funny.

Greetings

RSH

Edit, just overseen, because it is so much and everything works out of the box: the audio & midi sfs has also musescore

Edit: while playing the music in nted you can play with the parametric faders of the synthesizers, so try something and, please, have fun.

[nooby]

vovchik and RSH thanks indeed for all the efforts.

Would it work in LMMS too?

I do have Lazy puppy but I don't feel sure of
that I can follow even a detailed description.

But I would feel un-polite if I did not give it a try
and I sure at very motivated to listen to John-Erik Mattsson.

Okay they can not sound like him playing but it can indicate
what the melody is.

So thanks much appreciated and sorry if I derailed the thread.

So back on topic please

[RSH]

Yes, you can run lmms and import midi files, but i haven't tested how to get sound. Do not know if you must run jack to use lmms. whenever i played with lmms i have had loaded the demos and audio was alsa - not jack.

just play a little with LazY Puppy - it gives you lot's of possibilities to use your computer in a creative way.

- and do you know what?

You got one!

[nooby]

I not only have Lazy Puppy I am a lazy person
so it will take time. But much appreciated you guys cared!

Still no word on MuseScore 1.1 for Puppy, but I've been using the MuseScore 1.0 SFS to compose and transcribe music, and it's great, far superior to Nted in my opinion. I may have to find out myself how to produce the 1.1 package (unless a newer version comes out first), but I've been too busy using 1.0 to get around to that.

[pemasu]

I gave musescore-1.1 a go in dpup with Qt4-4.8.0 libs I have compiled for dpup.

[pa_mcclamrock]

It's working! Thanks a lot--that's a whole lot faster than getting around to producing a MuseScore 1.1 package myself!

[alphamale]

every time i try to access edit/preferences the program crashes. other than that it works well. i get the same problem with both 1.1 and 1.2. currently running slacko 5.4, but i had the same issue with 5.3.1 and lucid.

here is the output when i run from terminal

# mscore
