set notes via MIDI in musescore possible?

Hi,

in musescore preferences "note input" tab, I have set "Enable MIDI input", and I run musescore like:
MIDIDEVICE=rmidi/2 musescore
with the hope that it picks up the right device, but nope, when I enable note input in a score, and hit my MIDI controller, no luck.

I know it's the right rmidi/2 since I have this in my .midishrc where it works fine:
dnew 0 "rmidi/2" ro

Anyone uses a MIDI controller to input notes into musescore?

cheers,
Sebastian
