I have a modicum of ambition, but only just. As far as Rosegarden and its full potential, that's more up to the community than it is to me personally. My interest peaked and started waning a long time ago, and I'm just kind of here to support anybody else who feels like getting involved with writing code and making things happen. -- D.

Only if "Cut it loose" doesn't mean forfeiting even a modicum of ambition. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see Rosegarden blossom to its full potential (pun just presented itself) For this particular feature -- it looks like something is just misaligned, maybe a trivial fix(?) The "*.h2song" file seems like a very straightforward, non-cryptic XML format, which just needs a bit of undivided attention Someone just needs to keep track of all the mappings -- Hydrogen's internal mappings: instrument id's and how Rosegarden tries to read them and map each instrument to a pitch value. Doesn't sound hard. The workaround I tried -- exporting to midi, then importing that midi to RG -- entails a similar task of tracking the mappings. Back to "Cut[ting] it loose": I really think a maximal symbiosis between Hydrogen and RG would add a tremendous amount of value and creative power i wouldn't give up on the idea. (Percussion is huge!!)... I know, a few years ago I was whining about proper percussion notation in RG... and I still haven't given up on THAT idea either! ;-)) I'd recommend perhaps adding a parenthetical "(Experimental)" to this item menu (and whatever notes commentaries necessary in the docs), but not to give up on it completely. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Maybe direct import isn't needed anyway? My instruments were mismapped, when I tried to play the imported MIDI in RG, through Hydrogen. I first hoped I could correct it by just transposing the whole thing by some interval, but then it seemed that my resulting array of instruments in RG was shuffled out of the original Hydrogen order, so my transposing attempts failed. Or maybe I missed something. Wouldn't it be really cool, if you could import a hydrogen file, such that it was instantly ready to be rendered "back" through Hydrogen? (played by Rosegarden but outsourced back to Hydrogen (mapping the instruments correctly, of course)) Maybe for the RG code to be corrected/expanded for this, some broader, more generalized changes must be made in RG code, for percussion?
