Most pro audio oriented Ubuntu users will probably opt for UbuntuStudio which does include RG. UbuntuStudio is available as its own install media or as a meta package to add on to vanilla Ubuntu.

Less than optimal exposure. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rosegarden&searchon=names&suite=resolute§ion=all Package rosegarden - resolute (26.04LTS) <https://packages.ubuntu.com/resolute/rosegarden> (sound): music editor and MIDI/audio sequencer [*universe*] 1:25.12-2: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x Most of the QT grief when building RG on Ubuntu has to do with non-standard locations for the QT libs. Haven't built it there for a while, so the details have gone a bit hazy on me. Presumably, the make files could be configured to look for the QT files in the appropriate location when building in Ubuntu. Not sure if this has been done already. Mostly just building it in arch linux in recent years and this is not an issue.
