Thanks, Michael and Aere for the suggestions. It looks like the MIDI master/slave configuration might work best for me, since one of the main things I want to do is start RG from my MIDI controller.

And, looking at the rosegarden preferences dialog, I see something that I've ignored in the past: MIDI -> MIDI Sync -> MIDI clock and system messages where one of the options is: "Accept start, stop and continue" My guess is that is what I want. Then the next thing to figure out, I suppose, is how to send MIDI start, stop and continue messages from my controller keyboard. I'll play around with it, when I get time. If it works and I feel inspired enough I may post a message here describing what I did, in case anyone else wants to try it and finds it not straightforward. (Feel free to ping me on it after a while if I've not posted anything.)
