[Rosegarden-user] Ugly notation formatting

2016-04-06 Thread Silas Mortimer
Hi. I'm not only new to Rosegarden, I'm new to computer composing
beyond using guitarix/Hydrogen/Ardour for recording. I've been working
on a piece and learning bit by bit as I go along. Of course, this
means that I'm making a lot of mistakes as I go.

The trouble winds up in the notation editor. By the time I'm done
fixing whatever needs to be fixed in what I previously did, the
notation is left looking terrible, lol. Not *really* the software's
fault, but I would think that there might be a way to, oh, I don't
know, hit a button or menu item that would reformat the entire thing
to be a little more elegant and/or make sense?

What I'm currently writing is in 2/4 time, in the D melodic minor
scale. One example is at one point I wanted to make a chord ring out
longer than I'd originally put it and had already added notes after
it. I searched for what I should do there, and from what I gather, I
could only do that in the matrix editor. Is that the case? Anyway, I
did it there, and the notation not only looks bad, it no longer makes
sense. I think there might be a whole note listed in one bar (again,
it's in 2/4), and there's something that should be tied, plays like
it's tied, but it's not shown that way.

Is there some way I can keep the music as it is, but discard and
regenerate the notation? I apologize for my ignorance here.

I do love being able to do what I'm doing, though. This is a great application.

Works fine here.

It is locale related.

My distro (Mageia 5) offered two options for locales:
   - The default mode where filenames are encoded with UTF8 
   - The "Compatibility with old encoding" mode where filenames are encoded 
with ASCII or ISO-something.

In the first mode, my locale is LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8.
In the second mode it is LANG=fr_FR.

Filenames may contain diacritics in the two modes, but utf8 garbages are only 
found with the first one.

The problem should be fixed in rev. 14587.

Same result here.  I tried a bunch of random weird stuff.  I can prevent 
Rosegarden from being able to load a file by changing its encoding to 
something awful, but everything else I tried just works.

Could be locale- and/or filesystem-related.  I don't have any weird 
filesystems to test, like an old partition that was created before utf-8 
became the norm.  I used to have one of those, and that's what I'm 
betting might cause breakage.  Haven't had that for a long time.
