Actually I just checked and that script is still included in the current rosegarden source code tarball, you can find it under /scripts/. Here are some instructions on how to use it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.rosegarden.user/5102 If the rgd file format and the ins file format hasn't changed since 2005 , then the script should still work fine. Let us know how you get on with it. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

It looks like 7 years ago the developers of Rosegarden had indeed been developing such a script. A fellow by the name of Pedro Lopez-Cabanillos was working on exactly this problem with a perl script called ins2rgd.pl Somehow it seems the project simply vanished or lost interest. Here's one of the threads regarding this. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.rosegarden.user/5107 And here's the only working link I could find to any actual version of the script. http://www.koders.com/perl/fid0B8CD4AE74BB2A1553B928B4BBE8BC4C405E909B.aspx?s=none I've run a few tests and so far it doesn't seem to be producing the required output, however, I'll play around with it for a bit and see if I can get it to work. The comments mention some hard coded variables that may have to be changed to get it to work properly. Here's a few links I've found on the Cakewalk INS definitions format. http://www.raisedbar.net/InsDef.htm http://tse3.sourceforge.net/doc/InsFiles.html http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_build_a_cakewalk_ins_file.htm If any perl wizards out there want to take a look at the code and can point out any obvious errors or potential fixes for the script, then by all means please shout them out in here. At any rate, the perl code looks much simpler and easier to follow than the python txt2rgd.py script that seems to be the official solution these days. Once again, if there are any perl wizards out there who can help with this, the more the merrier...

Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] Fwd: Rosegarden's Future
Ok well, I'm going to carry on occasionally merging from trunk as I wish and will pop out another Windows build at some point soon. For the moment, and to make it easier for me to manage, I've created a page: http://www.xyglo.com/rosegarden-for-windows/ I'll post announcements here and keep monitoring the usual lists but this is a bit easier for me.

I'm sure it does. For my part, it's some mixture of being totally ignorant of how to do anything on Windows, and totally unsympathetic to the Windows user who wants to whine about free-as-in-beer software. They're running Windows! All the best commercial stuff with years of professional development behind it is available for that platform. If they're cheap, that's not my problem. If they're broke, they should probably just switch to Linux, and their unwillingness to do that is not my problem. So maybe I am unhelpful, snobby, and arrogant. I just don't have any use for those people. I dealt with a lot of them when I was a Linux crusader, and I fart in their general direction. -- D.
