One interesting thing can be done are plugins for Rosegarden. Rosegarden, anyway, still doesn't support plugins, specially coded in Python - these codes could exist externally, and latelly being used on Rosegarden, for example.
What i personally needed were plugins for importing tracker files there, like .mod, .s3m, .it, etc... - but of course, someone (even me) could parse even those considered obsolete files, like from AmigaOS DeluxeMusic or BarsNPipes - i received from Rosegarden mailing list even idea requests for Sonar and Cubase files, for helping people leaving ms-windows what do you all think? ------------- On 3/19/09, Mikko Eley <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm a second year BSc Computer Science student with an long arts > background.
