It's extremly annoying to get people complaining in first place like
having everything *free software* here, easy, user friendly and right
now, just ready for their exact needs is a human right. If isn't there,
well, it's bad, but moaning and gruntling won't help anyone. Coding,
paying someone to code, or letting the community know there's a real
need for something (and why, and why existing alternatives are not good)
is helpful, instead.
Don't get me wrong -there have been A LOT of times in which I said to
myself "oh shit why there is no OSS program/Linux program doing this and
that?". But I don't go complaining in mailing lists just like the whole
cosmos were against me.
1) I emerged "rosegarden" (and dependancies) successfully. But there
was no sound and no documentation. No "man rosegarden" and when I hit
{F1} or click on "Help", it complains about "kfmclient not found". I'm
running Blackbox, and no, I don't want to build KDE in all its bloated
"glory", thank you.
Well, if you don't want to build dependencies, don't complain. However,
what about google?
Anyway, have you checked for Timidity?

you could even try MusE which "only" depends on Qt.

If you just want to "edit a stinking midi file", then lilypond has no
use for you. It is music typesetting program, and AFAIK cannot got
from .midi to .ly
But sorry that I can't help with your compiling problem. What version
of app-text/mftrace do you have?

[gentoo-user] Trying to get a midi-editor working
This getting extremely annoying. I simply want to edit a stinking midi
file.
1) I emerged "rosegarden" (and dependancies) successfully. But there
was no sound and no documentation. No "man rosegarden" and when I hit
{F1} or click on "Help", it complains about "kfmclient not found". I'm
running Blackbox, and no, I don't want to build KDE in all its bloated
"glory", thank you.
2) I unmerged "rosegarden" (and dependancies), and tried lilypond. It
dies when doing the emerge on lilypond itself. I ran
"emerge lilypond > logfile 2>&1" and got the following output in logfile...
