[MU4 Issue] Piano keyboard does not show the notes being played

[Lemon-miaow]

Describe the bug The piano keyboard in Musescore 4 does not show the current note being played as it did in Musescore 3.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any sheet and write down a few notes
2. Open the Piano Keyboard (Keyboard shortcut "P")
3. After playing can see that the piano keyboard in Musescore 4 does not show the notes currently being played as in Musescore

Expected behavior The keyboard can display the notes being played in real time during playback, like the keyboard in the MU3

Platform information

• OS: Windows 10 Version 2009, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-223472200, revision: github-musescore-musescore-5485621

Additional context Is this an intentional change or a bug?

Is this an intentional change or a bug?

I wouldn't call it an intentional change, but rather a conscious one. It is because of the new playback engine, and the implementation from MS3 was not viable to be preserved. This feature will need to be re-implemented in a completely different way, which takes time, and there are other things we need to do too that take priority over this.

Thanks for your reply.

Anyone working on this, or planning on working on it in the near future?

Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/14428.

@MarsAstro I don't think this will be solved in the very near future, since there are other tasks with higher priority.

This is the most important. Without this, MS4 is unusable. Why don't they prioritize this first?

[cbjeukendrup]

Because there are at least 1000 issues that are even more important than this. (Note that the feature requested in this issue has zero functional value; it's purely a visual nice-to-have.)
