Thank you Richard and all of the other devs that have made Rosegarden. I've been lurking on this list for many (mid-90s?) years. Learning the history with this video was great fun.
Although I play a little guitar, I'm not much of a musician and have never used Rosegarden for MIDI to connect with a real synth. My primary use of Rosegarden is the notation editor. While in a choir for many years, I used the notation editor to enter my tenor parts from sheet music as an aid to learning the parts by listening and singing along. Often, I would do all four parts and generate CD's with the audio for the other members of the choir. Not only did the notation editor help me in the choir, using it actually taught me many of the rules for music notation just by using it. Rosegarden is a really great application and fits well with my FOSS and Linux sensibilities.
