Re: [Rosegarden-user] Audio File Location Issue

my personal preference is to default to the same ./ as the rg file itself. That way anyone in the habit of dumping all their rg files into ~/rosegarden will know where to find them, while people who want to save them somewhere else can effortlessly keep the associated audio files in that

Importing the sf2 in the 'manage midi devices' dialog has a mostly decorative function. Ie, it only effects the the labels that RG assigns to tracks. If you are fairly new to this sort of stuff what i bet you want to do is to load the font into a synth to make some sounds. This is done in qsynth

If you're just looking to make examples of non-standard tunings, csound is probably your most direct route. While csound's learning curve is genarally alarmingly precipitous, in this instance it might be what you're looking for. On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 10:18 AM Tom Peters wrote: > On 09-02-2021

How would I go about rounding up the bar lines in a segment? It would not appear that a bar line is an event, since in jpff;;;'s CsoundExport code, all non-note events are printed as a comment line, and bar lines aren't there in the output. Same thing for ties. They aren't there either. If they

Thanks. That's helpful. Accessing bar line positions is more trouble than it's worth for me right is what that part of your answer tells me. That frees up some time for me. As for the ties, a note would have two properties: one for tied from and another for tied to. Any idea where I could find

Csound is utterly indifferent to note names and accidentals. Notes are called by their frequencies (yuck), midi note number or most commonly PCH notation which is what Rosegarden exports. In PCH, octaves are integers and the notes within an octave are decimals, so that 6.00 is middle C, 7.04 is

Probably the most efficient work around is to make your own sound font with the samples retuned to suit your purposes. The midi note to sample mapping of a font doesn't really require you to sound the note corresponding to the midi note number you've selected. Percussion fonts are one obvious
