Rosegarden is a great program for making compositions/arrangement but its 
printing capabilities are limited. With MusicXML you can export your music to 
programs like Mscore (or even Finale or other commercial tools) to create a 
score and/or separated parts. That's at least I'm using it.

You can use Mscore for printing now :-)

I know. Does Rosegarden have "real" repeats? There are repeated segments but 
is this the same as "repeats" as I see on a score? That's why repeated 
segments are written out.

For now I'm exporting every event I encounter but some cleanup would result in 
a better file. I will have a look into this.

I can't remember either so I guess it is no.

My SourceForge ID is "nvdberg".
