Rosegarden fills empty spaces with rests automatically. You can normalize and collapse them to get them recalculated, but the only way to make one disappear permanently is to fill in the hole in time it represents. If you're having problems with rests that don't look like they should be there, it probably points to something else needing to be tweaked to clean up the notation and get it looking right. I'm happy to help on a case by case basis, but there's just too much to try to write some generic outline. -- D.

All real manipulation of measures is done in the main window through segment editing. Yes, I was thinking that the original poster could split the segment before (and after) the empty measures he wants to get rid of, delete the segment containing the empty measures, move the second segment up to abut the first, then join the two segments? I think the original poster's problem is what I've seen when recording into RG from my MIDI keyboard. Note durations come in fine (locked to as performed). But if I start editing the notes, moving them around, things sometimes get weird and rests start spontaneously appearing where they weren't before. I know quantizing is supposed to help, but sometimes it doesn't ...

Lorenzo. I think the old SongWrite I used to use on Windows had the same problem. I blame it on the absolute time idea. Sometimes I think that if each note consisted only of a unique ID #, pitch, duration, and the unique ID # _of the note that follows it_, there'd be less of this problem. -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ -- How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.

The solution to that kind of thing is to be a notation editor instead of a sequencer. In a notation editor, notes are everything, and MIDI is generated as needed. In a sequencer, MIDI is everything, and notes are generated as needed. Rosegarden is kind of straddling the line here, but it's still a sequencer. What you have is basically start times, durations, pitch, plus a lot of special metadata to improve notation rendering. Rosegarden has stretched the limits of what is possible quite a long way, but at the core, trying to do full featured notation on top of a sequencer is just nuts. That has to be why no commercial developer has ever tried it. It's a labor founded on twin pillars of love and not being wrapped too tight. -- D.

[Rosegarden-user] New sound, new way of working
I've finally worked out how to use two keyboards recording to two different tracks with two different voices at the same time, but through one instance of Rosegarden and with sounds from one of yoshimi. Also I have a new instrument sound, that I call Solo. So now I can freely record a genuine two handed improv, hearing as I play exactly the same as it will playback. Up to now I've had to record to a single sound, then split out the left hand. So, here we are with my first free-form tune played exactly as I felt the notes coming. Now, do I do anything with it or leave it alone? http://soundcloud.com/soft-sounds/solo/download -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. -- How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
