availability is concerned) My question to
the FreeBSD mailing list is: if I use FreeBSD with its Linux 
compatibility, how do I deal with drivers (for midi inter
faces, for instance) and installation. Is there an area of ports for 
Linux software, specifically Rosegarden or
something that will do audio recording, midi sequencing, audio/midi 
sync, and has a good score editor that

will print sheet music?




You can check here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/
on ports you are looking, Your Rosegarden is listed.

Note that the Rosegarden project refers to the 2.1 series that's in our 
ports as "antique." The latest Rosegarden requires ALSA to work.


To the OP, MIDI support on FreeBSD is non-existent aside from some 
kernel patches that turn up every now and then. If you need hardware 
MIDI support you need to use Linux, Windows, or OSX.


HTH,
