I appreciate your audacity to dream up something wild, and your determination to see it through until the kinks are worked out of it. > It's clearly something I should fix, but I can't seem to reproduce it. I haven't been able to reproduce it either, beyond the one and only time I observed the behavior. Chances are we can just forget that happened and move on. > OK, why don't I make it transmit, and then we'll find out whether or not > it's concealing another bug.

The rest should be dead, because I didn't change them over to valid instruments. For me, the tracks that are supposed to be live still fail to work. I see notes going out on the transport, but they don't arrive anywhere audible. I guess I should put all the present tense verbs in the preceding statement in the past tense. That's the behavior I saw and repeated yesterday, but firing everything up again today, I load foo99.rg and I can dink around the keyboard while sitting on any one of the tracks, even the ones that should have broken instruments, and I hear the piano always. I changed programs all over the place, and even on the broken tracks, they worked. Weird. I even looked at the XML to make sure most tracks still had an invalid instrument. Instrument 2003, for example, no longer exists, but the track assigned to that instrument plays just fine. That's just bizarre. Oh well, I'm not too worried about this particular scenario ever becoming a serious support hassle. People won't run afoul of this very often, and when they do, it's probably cheaper to volunteer to fix their .rg files manually than it is to sort out the underlying issues here. So back to the other thing then. This is 100% repeatable for me: 1. Start Rosegarden 2. Start QSynth (using the FluidSoundfont thing that comes with Ubuntu now) 3. Use the device manager to point "General MIDI Device" at QSynth 4. Click on track 10. Dink around. Hear drums. 5. Click on track 13. Dink around. Hear piano. 6. Hit [x] Percussion. Cycle the program combo. Dink. Hear drums. 7. Click on track 8. Dink. Hear drums! 8. Click on track 9. Dink. Piano. 9. Back to 8. Dink. Now it's piano, as it should be. When I diddled the program on track 13, I set a distinctive drum kit. When I went up to track 8, I heard the standard drum kit, not the special one. That means when I went up there either the wrong instrument sounded or the right instrument grabbed channel 10. I don't know which. -- D.
