I have experienced similar phenomena using external/physical synths while
Qsynth was also running. Even though the Qsynth midi output port was not
mapped to any
midi playback device or instrument within MIDI Device Manager in RG,
Qsynth was playing notes from tracks that were mapped
to my external synths. That struck me as anomalous behaviour but at the
time I just got round it by
turning the Qsynth volume down. Is it possibly to do with Jack settings
within RG/Qsynth where Jack is
told to automatically connect inputs/outputs? TBH I have not taken the
time to get properly familiar
with Jack and just use it to hear my audio tracks so I put it down to my
ignorance rather than an RG bug.
Regards.

Hello,
I have two tracks with drum segments on each that I assign
to the Hydrogen drum synth. Problem is that the sound output
is not Hydrogen but Grand Piano form the GM synth, just
yesterday this changed to BOTH the grand AND the drum kit
sounds seemingly depending on the staff note.
From what you describe it seems your two tracks are connected via ALSA
MIDI to both Hydrogen _and_ some General Midi Synth.
I'm assuming you are connecting to Hydrogen and the 'GM synth'
externally e.g. via QSynth? (i.e. not using DSSI within Rosegarden)
Unfortunately the MIDI device manager (Studio > Manage MIDI Devices)
doesn't seem to report if a 'Playback' Rosegarden MIDI device is
connected to multiple ALSA inputs.
However you could check this with something like QJackCtl via its
connections tab (or graph in most recent versions is the default).
Here is a screenshot of how the connections could look like in a
situation which could be similar to what you describe, where
Rosegarden would be sending MIDI to both Fluidsynth with a general
midi soundfont and Hydrogen together, thus you hearing both sounds:

Is there a rosegarden 'upload' facility where I could
upload the *.rg file consisting of just these 2 tracks?
Not that I know of, but I think some file sharing and pasting the link
here would be OK.
Still the RG file itself might not be helpful in understanding your
issue because it most probably depends on what Rosegarden's MIDI
'output' is connecting to on your system (see above)
I've had issues before with notes not ending/closing,
is there a way to start a new track but paste the entire
staff and NOTHING but the staff notes to it?
This seems unrelated to the 'synth problem' you describe? Could you
provide a bit more detail maybe?
Anyway from what I understand you have two options:
1.
To do what you describe I usually just copy / paste the segments
(possibly all of them) from a track to the new one. Or, even better,
clone them by doing CTRL + mouse-drag.
If you really want to make sure to get rid of anything but notes (and
maybe musical elements like clefs) you can open the segment in the
list editor. Select everything in the left-side filter except 'Notes'
and 'Other'. Do CTRL + A (i.e. select all), and then 'DEL' (delete
everything).
2.
Actually when copy/pasting stuff this also works:
- Select all notes in the notation or matrix editor. Copy (e.g. CTRL + C)
- Now go to the main window (segment / track view).
- Select the desired target track
- Paste
In this case AFAIK only notes are pasted (e.g. I'm quite sure Control
changes are not...)
If you do it like this, do be careful of where the playhead is because
this is where the first note will be pasted and if that not is _not_
at the start of the segment you will most probably have a mis-aligned
segment ;-) - YMMV
Hope this helps.
Lorenzo
TIA
