Does the system produce sound (so you know sound drivers are working). If yes, does fluidsynth produce sound output if you use it to play a midi file from a to terminal (you have to provide cli options for output device, eg ALSA, and soundfont, full path). If yes, can you start fluidsynth in

I have just discovered from a query in the Google Groups Frescobaldi group that Frescobaldi 3 uses Qt5. In my stupidity I was reading the frescobaldi.org download and build instructions for Frescobaldi 2 (may be better if that were deleted by now). Therefore, I will start anew! Andrew

Fair enough. I spent all afternoon on it. I am utterly unable to get Qt4 going on Alma Linux despite decades of being a UNIX programmer. I think it's futile. I conisdered doing the port of Frescobaldi to Qt6 but that is a large job, and besides, may destabilise other peoples installs A few

Well well. Alma Linux is indeed a fine distro, but now I agree with you about dependencies on this linux. Part of the process to install PyQt4 is to install enough of Qt4 to get qmake and that's a nightmare. It's absurdly complicated. And Qt4 has been obsoleted anyway, making this all that

Hi Martin, that depends on what you consider an alternative to Frescobaldi. Lilypond can be used with any text editor. There is a quite powerful Lilypond module for VSCode, maybe that is something along the lines of what you are looking for? Cheers, Valentin Am Freitag, 2. September 2022, 22
