Hi :)
MusE seems to have many interesting functions, very near to Cubase. I
don't know Cakewalk myself, I just heard of it and MusE might be
orientated at Cakewalk, maybe it's not very different to Cubase.
The bug(s) for MusE are less important, it's more important that this is
the kind of bug I get with any setup.
I can't get a sound done by MusE, resp. fluidsynth. I resumed the
settings for MusE at the end of this mail.
After a while, when saving the project again (I did it several times
before) I got an error. Similar to the errors I got when using Rosegarden.
"Jack shutdown!
Jack has detected a performance problem which has lead to MusE being
disconnected.
This could happen to a number of reasons:
- a performance issue with your particular setup.
- a bug in MusE (or possible in another connected software).
- a random hiccup which might never occur again.
- jack was valuntary stopped by you or someone else
- jack crashed
If there is a persisting problem you are much welcome to discuss it on
MusE mailinglist.
(there is information about joining the mailinglist on MusE homepage
which is available through the help menu)
To proceed check the status of Jack and try to restart it and then click
on the Restart button."
I closed MusE. QJackCtl seems to be fine, but after running MusE again
and loading the started project, MusE crashed and disappeared.
I could start MusE and load the project after closing QJackCtl.
I could start MusE after QJackCtl was running, but it crashes again and
disappeared after I tried to load the project.
In the past I could run QSampler with my other 64 Studio and it also
crashed when trying to load a GIG.
It seems to be that Jack isn't fine with my Suse 11.0, 64 Studio Lenny
and 64 Studio default.
I tried another session, but the bug was still there.
I restarted the computer and after launching jack I got:

Also something I know very well.
I shutdown the computer and turned it on again. Running QJackCtl was
fine, but there was still the bug for MusE. Without running QJackCtl
MusE was fine again.
QJackCtl + QSampler and a loaded GIG + Rosegarden and a loaded project
with lots of Fluidsynth DSSIs seems to be fine, I didn't tested audio
(mixer and amp were not turned on), but there were no crashes after
loading and playing Rosegarden.
Independent if there is ab bug for MusE, this behavior is something that
will happen with any setup.
Can the on-board graphic, the shipset or soundcard cause this troubles?
Cheers,
Ralf
