Well, I've made a couple of attempts to use Ardour. It's a very powerful
tool of audio engineers.

For someone more ordinary, like me, who doesn't do much with recorded
audio, it's way beyond me.

Rosegarden does the MIDI and scoring I need. For a final, complete,
beautiful score, I use MuseScore.

Not to steal a thread, but rather than rosegarden supporting all these

can use it in say, ardour.

Keep rosegarden a special notation piece, and let others worry about
the extra fluff.

Sorry if this has been considered before.

     Actually, I feel that the uncertainty Pipewire it bringing to the
     Linux
     Pro Audio world (see discussions on LAD for example), and the risk
     JACK
     is in the longer term, I feel link bumping up LV2 support in
     Rosegarden.

     Then JACK MIDI as Carla for example only supports JACK MIDI.

     Unfortunately it seems that the modular approach of 'an app does
     something well' philosophy is at risk if JACK is at risk...

     Just a quick guts feeling here, and I totally understand the kind of
     endeavor LV2 would be...
     In an ideal world I'd be happy for Rosegarden to do 'just' MIDI
     (maybe
     JACK Midi), and then have external software do the plugins. I've
     written
     a lot about e.g. rendering with jack freewheel etc. but I think the
     trend now is to go on Linux to the one-DAW-does-it-all probably
     because
     of commercial software like Bitwig or Reaper now available for
     Linux and
     having that approach and Ardour trying to follow on that (albeit IMHO
     still lacking to much in the MIDI department).

     Enough rambling there, just my 2 cents :-)

I would add that Yoshimi in Ardour *at least* doubles the CPU load compared
with Yoshimi with Rosegarden.
Ardour is an audio processor with some MIDI facilities added on.
Rosegarden is a MIDI processor with some audio facilities added on.

And I mostly do MIDI and scores. Although I suspect my system (i9 processor, 64GB RAM, Nvidia graphics) probably wouldn't complain about CPU load in Ardour.
