Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] rosegarden presentation at FOSDEM

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.

Thank you all again,
mike

Re: [Rosegarden-user] LV2... Why?

2020-03-14 Thread Michael N. Moran

Greetings,

In the spirit of use-cases, I'll chime-in.

I'm an occasional/casual user of Rosegarden and have been 
for many years.


I'm a very amateur guitar player and member of a church choir.

My most common use-case is that of trying to learn a 
particular vocal part (e.g. tenor) by listening to it over 
and over.


In this case, I will receive an octavo from the choir 
director and enter the part using the notation editor, and 
then play it back using a synth (e.g. fluidsynth).


Although the notation entry can be painfully slow, using 
Rosegarden has taught me a great deal about the intricacies 
of music notation. Thanks for that!


After using the notation editor to enter individual parts, I 
will sometimes use Ardour to create audio files which I then 
write a to CD-ROM for individual SATB parts for distribution 
to other choir members.


All this while using my beloved Linux machines that are the 
basis for my embedded-systems programming livelihood.


Thank you to all of the Rosegarden developers for your 
contributions.


- mike

Hi all,

I think it's really interesting to learn about people's

 FWIW, I have been using Thunderbird for years as my e-mail client of

 1999 and all of this running off of an encrypted flash drive so I can
 move it between my PC and my laptop.  Thunderbird may look kinda ugly in
 KDE compared to Kmail, but it's all about the functionality for me.

I hate to waste bandwidth and mindshare but... I agree with 
Mr. Collins.

I've been using Thunderbird (and whatever its predecessors 
were called)
since 1998 (one up ;) and it's always been able to keep up 
with my old
e-mail archives and ... I save everything but spam.

Ugly? Maybe. But I'm always distraught when I use other 
e-mail clients that
seem to want to simplify my life too much.

just sayin'

I wish I had more time to use Rosegarden, but it's a great 
app for a musical
amateur such as myself.
