I don't know if there's a command (command-line tool) to convert/export .RG to .mid file . Although, within Rosegarden GUI, you can export midi tracks into a .mid file. One way to export a single (or a few) midi track is to copy your .RG file (it's always good to have a backup copy), then edit the new temporary file, delete all the tracks you don't want, then export to a .mid file. Another way is to export all the midi tracks/channels (I prefer those terms over "segments" which may be just a few musical bars/measures of a track/song) into a .mid file, then use some tools like midisplit.pl (a midi tool to split up each midi channel into its own file). I believe all midi files must have a tempo, if none is found, it is assumed to be 4/4 120 BPM tempo . There are other utilities like midi2text, miditext, midi2csv ... but they have their own quirks. Some midi file(s) may have problem with one of these, but no problems with the other utilities .
