    I'm creating music accompaniment on Musescore. It would be interesting for us if we could share these on Jamulus while jamming.

    Qt has a PDF widget that can render images. There could be a "score sheets" window populated by players rendered on-demand to a window for another player. Keeping this ephemeral and with only screen-resolutions bitmaps transferred could keep fears about loss of control limited.

    Already working alternatives are putting up a link in the chat window (or exchanging Email adresses there for sending PDFs over) or running a Jitsi session (video-only, bandwidth permitting) in parallel where one can "share screen" on a PDF viewer window.

    Or do you mean audio accompaniment ?
    Not sure what you are looking for.

    HI! DonC, Yes I mean audio acompaniment. We are rehersing classical music and we do not a pianist available for the moment.

      With Jack that's comparatively easy. "Just" start another client (it
      would be nice to be able to have one client for more than a single
      stereo/mono channel but that's not there yet) with option -j (don't
      connect). Use qjackctl or similar to connect it to the output of a Midi
      playing device (like a timidity daemon), then play the midi.

      When in doubt, ask someone running Linux to do this (or the one who is
      managing your server: chances are that they know how to convince their
      system into such contortions).

        This sounds neat. Would it be possible to use the midi output from Frescobaldi to play accompaniment to a jam on jamulus?

          Yes! it works. Thank you, David Kastrup! By the way, I remember taking your advice on LaTeX questions a few years back. It is a very small world.

      You can use a DAW to play back the files into a Jamulus client.
      Depending on your OS Blackhole (MAC) or Jack2/JackRouter(PC) seem to work to do the digital connection between the DAW and Jamulus.
      If you search the forum you will find many mentions of how to do this.

    Gentlemen,
    Going through the forum, I have found a comment that lead to a practical solution for playing my Musescore piano accompaniment on my Jamulus server: I play my Musescore piano files on my second laptop, and I connect it from the audio output to my Focusrite second microphone plug. It is not an elegant solution, but it works.
