Hi Heikki and RGDT, Here's the patch file for my build from the svn repo /tags/rosegarden-1.7.2-rc2.
All of the qstrtostr, strtoqstr, #include "misc/Strings.h" and #include <utility> are mine but there are a couple of mods (LilyPondExporter.cpp and MatrixView.cpp) that reflect the fact that I wasn't working from exactly this directory.

Such a patch could be put to trunk, which is currently RG1.7.* branch. We were planning to publish RG1.7.3, but it was cancelled. The reason for the cancellation could be put in such a way that due to limited resources of the developers, we did not want to drive the development of the stable branch (trunk) and the development branch (rg-qt4) too far apart. However, seems like there is some new development in the RG1.7.* branch. > > Anyway, now I've got it working, I love it.

Fix your favorite bug or implement a feature request of your own. First task is to find out a task for you. (2) In practice, if you set up SVN and try to compile the QT4 branch, even the smallest patch which would help to compile the source would be nice. (3) We do have a ToDo list: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:summer_code But these tasks are not necessarily the easiest or the most obvious ones, or, they are UI related and can be reliably implemented only with a compiling source. Unfortunately, the development of new features is stalled, because only bugs fixes are put to 1.7.* branch and everybody is waiting rg-qt4 to compile before implementing new features. Otherwise, the stable branch and QT4 branch may be driven far apart. Best Regards, and Happy New Year, Heikki
