It starts and it's a nice program, thanks. I use lilypond though, together with lilicomp, but this is also nice. Taking into account that nted cannot play on my computer by default (see below), I think it should start even without "modprobe snd_seq". I think programs should work out of the box with no setup (just apt-get install nted). And users who want more (like if you want a hardware midi), should have a way how to set it up (in this case "modprobe snd_seq" plus some more advanced alsa setup, that I don't even know, I didn't get it to work on my comp). > > > I believe it should be working, it's a note editing program, not a player > > right? > > NtEd can play the scores via midi. It is supposed to, but it doesn't on my computer by default (I probably need some setup of alsa, but everything else works, sound works fine, but not the hardware midi). When I hit the play button, nothing comes out. > > > BTW, timidity file.midi works nice on my system, so nted should be too imho. > > If you try timidity as an ALSA sequencer client (-iA) it will require > the /dev/snd/seq device too. I tried that and it's true that timidity -iA peccantem.midi doesn't work without "sudo modprobe snd_seq", but it doesn't work with it neither: $ timidity -iA peccantem.midi Check URL type=7 Check URL type=6 Check URL type=5 Check URL type=4 Check URL type=3 Check URL type=2 Check URL type=1 open url (type=1, name=/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg) url_file_open(/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg) mmap - success. size=1061 Check URL type=7 Check URL type=6 Check URL type=5 Check URL type=4 Check URL type=3 Check URL type=2 Check URL type=1 open url (type=1, name=/etc/timidity/freepats.cfg) url_file_open(/etc/timidity/freepats.cfg) mmap - success. size=4655 Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192 ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 33868, period size 3760 bytes TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3 and nothing comes out.
