 Let us know how you get on with it.

The thing is, that most of us don't install Rosegarden from Tarballs.
99% of us use whatever package manager comes with our distros.  I can
state categorically that there is no such script included with the
*buntu distros out there.

The command line syntax is listed within the comments of the script itself.

Anyway, neither here nor there, it seems to work ok with the program
patches and controllers but seems to have trouble interpreting the combi
patches on my Korg TR.  It's not a perfect solution but at least it's
a working one.  I had to do some minor tweaking in the Rosegarden RGD
editor but I did manage to at least get the program patches working.

BTW, the Cakewalk/Sonar INS file is based on the MIDI standard and hasn't
really changed in the past 20 years or so,

Regards,
Gary

I use 11.11.42 installed from Debian Sid repository, and there's no such 
script on my system, either. Sounds like the package maintainer isn't 
including them, or maybe you need to have the -src package installed, too?

You should do a bug report on the bug reporting system of your distro (Ubuntu
/ Debian) asking the distro packagers to include this script in the next
package update.

The script is quite hidden as all other scripts in the /scripts/ directory in
the source code appear to be build or development related (of no use to normal
users), so I imagine the packagers never noticed this script.

I will certainly include this script in the next update of my Redhat / Centos
/ SL Rosegarden package.
