This is nice contrast to the usual "don't use Rosegarden because" stuff I'm used to reading. I gave up participating in the wider community, because I got tired of every positive thing I had to say getting instantly shot down and dumped on. I'm glad Ted showed up to keep the project simmering. I'm starting to face the reality that I am more or less gone now. Even the Rosegarden rose I keep using for the splash screen is ailing, as the surrounding garden area is massively overgrown now. -- D.

[Rosegarden-user] A bit of well earned praise
As some of you know, I'm now working on developing the Yoshimi softsynth. The changes that have been made recently meant we had to check MIDI input as thoroughly as possible. To do this I had to use three other sequencers to try and cover as many corner cases as possible. Without mentioning any names, I am highly relieved this is over! What I can say is that from a musician's point of view Rosegarden is totally in another league and leaves them all behind in clouds of dust. In the first place, set-up time (that inspiration killer) is dramatically shorter with Rosegarden. Track selection and recording is obvious and painless. Saving and loading is quick. CCs can easily be dropped in and edited (this one proved to be especially problematic with the others). Finally, Rosegarden doesn't pretend to know what I want to do better than me! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Using the command line (and avoiding the buggy parameter) works.

My way of handling this is to maintain different sets of bank root dirs all in userspace then just select as 'default' the one I want depending on which group of projects I'm working on. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
