If I have a DAW and Musescore both running and play a note, the note is played by both the DAW and Musescore.
Also, Your CTRL+TAB solution doesn't actually work (at least on a Mac). I think you are underestimating the usefulness of the requested feature. So it should be simple to achieve the sort of workflow you describe using a program that is actually dedicated to and excels at real-time performance.

It's trivially simple to press Ctrl+Tab to switch between programs in Windows or Linux I assume macOS has something similar. Real-time playback is something that any number of other programs and devices can already handle far better than we could ever hope to. Even playback is secondary, but we do realize its importance to a notation program, and this is something that pretty much has to be tackled within MuseScore to be viable.
Meanwhile, though, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I do know that when we prioritize things to work on, we continue to focus on features relating to the primary purpose of MuseScore. So I'm not saying it will never happen - MuseScore is open source, so if a programmer who values this wants to go ahead and implement it and can do so without causing problems elsewhere, then there is a perfectly good chance it would be incorporated into the program at some point. And every week spent addressing those concerns for the sake of those few people trying to use MuseScore for real-time performance is a week that could instead have been spent making MuseScore a better notation program.

Others still may be most concerned about MuseScore's ability to respond to multiple channels at once, or to program change messages, or pressure messages, or the pitch bend or mod wheels, etc. You might be noticing the sustain pedal now, but others are more aware of the latency issues. This does make sense, but realize MuseScore is actually very far from being a usable synthesizer for real-time performance. If I understand correctly now, you are saying it actually has nothing to do with notation or even playback - you just want to be able to use the built-in synthesizer within MuseScore for real-time performance., and right now the most noticeable missing feature for that purpose in your particular use case is the sustain pedal. I think you're right that the reason I had trouble understanding the original request is that I assumed that since MsueScore is a notation program, the request somehow must have related to notation, or at least to playback of a notated score. If you, Marc, never use musescore in this way, you probably don't see the need for this.īut I had it again just yesterday, as a concrete example: I was checking out harmonies in the strings (while writing for orchestra) and its a pain to play widespread harmonies on the keyboard with only your two small little hands, a functioning sustain pedal would be such a help. When I read this thread, I felt relieved that I'm not the only one missing this feature.
(By the way, I'm quite sure that I understood the thread opener correctly in that he meant exactly this. I hope that I've been able to make it clearer to you now, Marc. I mean, it works already, except for the sustain pedal feature and I would think that it could be solved quite easily (I am no MIDI expert at all but know that it has to do with CC 64, which would have to be recognised by musescore). Then just use the "N" key to rapidly and easily switch between notating and playing. having one sound in musescore active and play, hearing this sound. It's about being able to use the MIDI Keyboard within musescore not only as an insert tool but as a musical instrument for composing/arranging/checking out harmonies/voicings etc. Like Philip, who started this thread, explained. I'm fully aware that the focus and absolute priority of the musescore developers is notation, but as a musician I'd really like to have this functionality for the sake of workflow. The feature I'm desiring is not about sustain pedal within notation or notation playback but about the live functioning of the connected USB MIDI Keyboard's sustain pedal while playing into musescore's synthesizer.
