Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] rosegarden presentation at FOSDEM

I used the notation editor to make sheet music for a number of songs and 
hymns for our (now-defunct) church's band. I don't know how useful it 
was to people, but it was generally much more readable than the sheets 
(lines of lyric text, handwritten guitar chords, hand drawn stairsteppy 
diagrams he used instead of staves!) the worship leader supplied!


Now I use it just for my own music. I'm not involved in our current 
church's band.

Although I play a little guitar, I'm not much of a musician and have never used 
Rosegarden for MIDI to connect with a real synth. My primary use of Rosegarden 
is the notation editor. While in a choir for many years, I used the notation 
editor to enter my tenor parts from sheet music as an aid to learning the parts 
by listening and singing along. Often, I would do all four parts and generate 
CD's with the audio for the other members of the choir.

Not only did the notation editor help me in the choir, using it actually taught 
me many of the rules for music notation just by using it.

Rosegarden is a really great application and fits well with my FOSS and Linux 
sensibilities.

Thank you all again,

Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] rosegarden presentation at FOSDEM

[Lorenzo Sutton]

Nice talk Richard, well done.

Pity I missed the announcement as I wasn't subscribed to the 'devel' 
mailing list - I am now :-)


Have been using Rosegarden since at least 2005 and it's been my main 
sequencer and indeed it's notation editing capabilities have always been 
quite outstanding compared to lots of commercial software.
I would say it was one of the OSS, linux-only pieces of software which 
pushed me to switch to Linux for personal computing around 2006-2007.


Rosegarden is cited (together with other FLOSS) in the closing credits 
of the (independent / budget / sci-fi) feature film I made the 
soundtrack for [1][2] in 2016 (released in 2017), because it was 
essentially what I used to compose it. I also use it for all of my 
'digital' music production.


I guess Richard's talk is a nice occasion to re-iterate a big thank you 
to all developers and contributors to Rosegarden over the years, and 
indeed, this is a small but very active and engaged community, an 
element which makes it special :-)

[chuck elliot]

I switched from Cubase in about 2009 and have never looked back.

I enjoyed the talk and learned quite a bit about the history of RG.

I have always been impressed its quality but what came over to me

was what a massive achievement its 30 year development and survival 
represents.


A big "Well Done" and thanks are due for the whole team.

Regards,

Chuck.

Ha! I know from experience that talks *never* go as smoothly as you'd like.
Very interesting anyway. I'm trying to work out how long I've been using
Rosegarden. The oldest saved file date I have is July 2006 :o
