 Actually, I feel that the uncertainty Pipewire it bringing to the
 Linux
 Pro Audio world (see discussions on LAD for example), and the risk
 JACK
 is in the longer term, I feel link bumping up LV2 support in
 Rosegarden.

 Then JACK MIDI as Carla for example only supports JACK MIDI.

 Unfortunately it seems that the modular approach of 'an app does
 something well' philosophy is at risk if JACK is at risk...

 Just a quick guts feeling here, and I totally understand the kind of
 endeavor LV2 would be...
 In an ideal world I'd be happy for Rosegarden to do 'just' MIDI
 (maybe
 JACK Midi), and then have external software do the plugins. I've
 written
 a lot about e.g. rendering with jack freewheel etc. but I think the
 trend now is to go on Linux to the one-DAW-does-it-all probably
 because
 of commercial software like Bitwig or Reaper now available for
 Linux and
 having that approach and Ardour trying to follow on that (albeit IMHO
 still lacking to much in the MIDI department).

 Enough rambling there, just my 2 cents :-)

I would add that Yoshimi in Ardour *at least* doubles the CPU load compared
with Yoshimi with Rosegarden.
Ardour is an audio processor with some MIDI facilities added on.
Rosegarden is a MIDI processor with some audio facilities added on.

And I mostly do MIDI and scores. Although I suspect my system (i9 
processor, 64GB RAM, Nvidia graphics) probably wouldn't complain about 
CPU load in Ardour.

Well, I've made a couple of attempts to use Ardour. It's a very powerful 
tool of audio engineers.
