I will try to write a summary for the wiki ASAP. Meanwhile, here is the thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.rosegarden.devel/2313/focus=2387 > Did you mean "Instrument to Track" in the last sentence, btw? If so, I > don't see how that would solve the guitar problem. Yes, my proposal was to independise the outgoing MIDI channel from the Instrument and move it away, perhaps to the track level. But you are right, these are two unrelated problems, and you still need to use different tracks for differents guitar strings. To clarify the MIDI channel / Track / Instrument problem in Rosegarden: We store a MIDI channel property for each recorded MIDI channel event. But this property is not used for playback. Other software sequencers, like Sonar/Cakewalk, allow the user to assign to each track an optional forced MIDI channel for playback. If the forced MIDI channel is not set, then the original recorded MIDI channel is also used for playback. We don't have this option in Rosegarden: there is always a forced MIDI output channel for each Instrument. It should be not very hard to implement the other policy in Rosegarden, though. We would need a "default MIDI channel" for events created programmatically.
