Hi folks!
I recently started a small piece of music using rosegarden
for typing in the music and doing the rest with pmx, which
worked just fine. I just noted several small bugs in the
program, sometimes it crashes when having pressed the save
button or other buttons from dialogs. Sometimes it has
problems with accidentals or notes are somehow shifting
around (especially in connection with the Undo function).
What I'm missing (except of a general update with better
support for pmx ;) is the possibility to see the bar number,
an improved beaming (did not check autobeam though) which
orientates on the meter, not on the order I typed it in,
better meter support (not just the time like 4/4) and
support for long rests (like rm4 in pmx :).
I also downloaded an unofficial 2.2 version (2.1 beta
from 1997 is official (why Beta ? :-( ). The author is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Torsten Duwe) which had apparently difficulties
in reaching the authors of the original rosegarden for
his patches (he fixed many bugs and included some new
features as well, did not check the program out though).
I visited the homepage of rosegarden as well regarding
the further development and the last change I saw in
CVS was from Januar this year.
The homepage tells that bugfix-releases should still
be published, but as there was no update since over
two years now, I suppose its really difficult to reach
authors, so does anyone know whats happening to
rosegarden ?
Maybe there also is an alternative program, but I did
not find one on the linux sound pages (www.linuxsound.at),
which supports musixtex and/or pmx as well.
Best regards,
Reinhard Katzmann
