Welcome! On the continuo playback point you mentioned, a practical workaround is to make a separate playback copy of the score and write out a simple right-hand realization for the harpsichord there. Keep your intended bass line, and start with just one short section or cadence before doing all 18 parts. That lets you hear the harmonic support without having to make a fully realized keyboard part compulsory in the performers’ score. For checking the counterpoint, try playing the bass with just one vocal line at a time, then add the other voices. In MuseScore Studio’s Mixer (F10), you can Solo more than one instrument together. Temporarily reducing reverb can also make entries and note endings easier to check; restore it afterwards for the listening version. The controls are documented here: https://handbook.musescore.org/sound-and-playback/mixer These are suggestions for the mock-up you described, rather than a verdict on the composition. A short excerpt with the continuo realized would make it easier for readers to discuss the harmony you actually intend.

Thanks for clarifying, Vasilis — I misunderstood the obstacle as the audio recording rather than the video's room sound. Since you already record into GarageBand/Pianoteq, one option is to film the same performance and use its GarageBand export as the video's soundtrack. Align a clear first key strike in both recordings, check alignment again near the end, and mute the camera audio. That keeps the actual performance while leaving mechanical keyboard noise out of the finished soundtrack. If you use iMovie on Mac, Modify > Detach Audio separates the camera's audio so it can be removed after alignment: https://support.apple.com/en-mt/guide/imovie/mov267936bb2/mac A short test would tell you whether that is practical with your setup, without committing to filming a whole sonata.
