Sounds like the package maintainer isn't including them, or maybe you need to have the -src package installed, too? You should do a bug report on the bug reporting system of your distro (Ubuntu / Debian) asking the distro packagers to include this script in the next package update. The script is quite hidden as all other scripts in the /scripts/ directory in the source code appear to be build or development related (of no use to normal users), so I imagine the packagers never noticed this script. I will certainly include this script in the next update of my Redhat / Centos / SL Rosegarden package. -- 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.

Here's getting it from the Rosegarden source-code repository: https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden/ https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden/scripts/ https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden/scripts/ins2rgd.pl I'm not a Perl guru, but can fumble around if need to. If you have problem running the script to convert certain .INS file(s), I can probably help take a look at a couple of those if I can find the time, first come first serve -- no guarrantee what-so-ever. But first, run the script if you can, capture the errors, and the resulting output file. Post and attach tar/zip copy of those files to this mailing list, so other people can help out, or learn by fumble-around on their own if they want. It's Rosegarden related, so it's not off-topic on this list.

To achieve it Rosegarden must walk the multiplatform path. It must be the top priority now for the future's greater good. I appreciate this argument, and thank you for articulating it well. But I'm afraid I just don't see the evidence in other applications that broadening your user base, by porting to other platforms with a smaller proportion of developers, helps a great deal with development effort. I agree with Chris. I will add that now a days installing a Linux flavour is really easy, and personally Rosegarden (plus some other software) together with the improved easiness of installing Linux was the motive for me to get back to it and eventually switch, after hard times trying to get it to work at the end of the 1990s. That's to say I would stick and focus to Linux, and who knows this may attract other users. My two cents.

[Rosegarden-user] Busted Examples
I'd like to point out that my examples are broken again. Track 9 should in all cases be a second drum track. But it comes up as a non-percussion track in the wrong key instead. I do this to make the notation more manageable since cymbals and hi-hat are all notated as sharp notes whereas kick, snare and toms are all naturals. This arrangement used to work in earlier versions of RG but now it doesn't. Not actually sure if this is an issue with RG or Fluidsynth. In any case, changing track 9 so that it uses instrument 10 fixes the problem. Sorry if I seem to be so persistently anal about a few example tunes, but since the tunes are in C major, E minor and G minor having some repetitive notes banging away in B major really does create a godawful cacophony. -- 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.
