Re: [Rosegarden-user] Convert .rg to .mid with Command Line
I threw together a solution in the meantime: https://github.com/dpacbach/rg-2-midi Tested on Linux and Mac, seems to work. However, I wouldn't consider it an ideal/long-term solution, would be better for various reasons if this came from the Rosegarden project itself, so I am leaving the above feature request open. Rg-2-midi includes the minimal subset of Rosegarden source files needed to open an .rg file and export it to .mid. Just want to note that the shear number of source files that I had to import into this project just to get it to open .rg files and export .mid files was shocking... might be pointing to the necessity of some code redesign in Rosegarden :-) Contributions welcome, especially if you can delete code from the repository and still have it build :-) David On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 3:45 PM Will Godfrey wrote: > > On Wed, 22 May 2019 07:52:15 -0400 > Ted Felix wrote: > > >On 5/22/19 12:30 AM, David Sicilia wrote: > >> Thanks, I have just opened this ticket: > >> > >> https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/feature-requests/476/ > > > > Great.

[Rosegarden-user] Convert .rg to .mid with Command Line
Hi there, Is there a way to use Rosegarden (or some other program) as a command line tool to export Rosegarden files (*.rg) to MIDI? Something like this: $ rosegarden export-midi --from=xyz.rg --to=xyz.mid This function would be equivalent to opening the .rg file in Rosegarden and selecting File->Export->MIDI. That would be really useful if such a thing existed because I save all of my MIDI compositions as Rosegarden files and only need to convert them to MIDI as part of the build process of my game. Currently I have to export them to MIDI in the Rosegarden GUI every time I make a change to a tune and then have to check the MIDI files into version control as part of my game, which seems non-ideal. With the above feature I could incorporate the conversion into the build system so that it happens automatically and only when necessary. If such a feature doesn't exist, is it worth requesting it from the developers?
