Actually you did and like greased lightning too!

I doubt you will ever find a way of alienating us crusty old 2.1 users!
You, Rich and Andy wrote the first ever notation-based composition tool
for Linux, and very generously made it into an open-source project.

I think RG4 has great potential as a notation-based composition tool
for Linux.  You're adding many useful features like "Normalize Rests",
dynamic font sizing and spacing which Rosegarden 2.1 lacks.
I particularly like the clarity of the layout of the user interface
and of the scores themselves in the feta font (overlapping accidentals
excepted).

For the moment, I'm continuing to use Rosegarden 2.1 
for notation-based composition and am eagerly awaiting the
day I can start using RG4 instead.  The RG4 features look excellent.
I can't use RG4 only because the various glitches and undo/redo crashes
described in my previous emails make it impracticable for writing long pieces.
