I did get a chance to look over a couple of the Precise threads - it sounds as though it's optimized for newer computers.

Hi,

-----------------
[SOLVED] the solution is quite trivial --> set the synthetyzers "reverb" and "chorus" effect to zero and it is done ! Smile

( go to Menubar-->Display-->Synthetizer --> there set the "reverb" and "chorus" cursors to zero; then quit and restart (...MUST be done !) and it is done !!)
details: here have an Confused

Intel82801DB-ICH4 sound device
... very basic and low resources...isn't?
"reverb" as also "chorus" functions are resources consuming;
so not surprising that playing sounds + reverbs +chorus on that «poor little ICH4» would slow down sounds rendering ... together with graphic colateral mouse cursor effects ... Shocked

-----------------

(note: all tests reported below on the very same PC, each time in pfix=ram = pristine mode)
have installed mscore1.2.pet + qt-4.8.0-basic-with-qtwebkit-dpup.pet, both from exprimo repo;
1. Musescore starts and works OK as for score editing;
but:
sound rendering (press the start audio icon in the menu bar) fails after, let's say, 20 or 32 quarter notes are played (usng the "Reunion" default score).
From then the sound is choppy together with mouse cursor erratic motions.

I've googled around without finding any workaround.

here are comments from console

i cannot install Gnumeric from the PPM, and many others repos.
All my spreadsheets stored are Gnumeric. Where is the bug ? Thanks to help me.
Waiting for it, I have installed an old french version, from Toutou linux forum.
