But that's a problem with the arrangement itself, isn't it ? How does that relate to how the chord is fingered ? > What I was trying to avoid with creating a dictionary, which is pretty > much what is in rosegarden now, is all the time necessary to enter it > and the aliases.

Indeed, and since only a handful of basic patterns need to be entered while the rest are computed, I'm quite sure that this grunt work is trivial compared to the work needed to get this test program fit our needs. > The issue on that end is > how to affect changes that another user of rosegarden wants to make.

I disagree with this approach, because it means that no matter what styles you play, even if you don't need any "bizarre" fingering, RG will drown you into all the possible fingerings, and it's up to you to pick the one which suits you. On the other hand, a dictionnary will only present you the common, sensible ones, and you're free to gradually add the ones you need as your style and technique evolves.
