To be totally honest I always liked the fact Rosegarden saves to a single file. I of course create a directory if the 'project' includes other stuff (such as yoshimi state file etc.). I guess the real need for this is when you need audio? The advantage of Rosegarden vs. e.g. Ardour or QTractor, is that you can 'just' fire it up and start making music without having to decide a project name, decide a directory, etc. If / when you decide to save you just do it with a single command... In 'extreme' cases you can even start rosegarden without jack, it still work and you can maybe quickly input notation or do something without it complaining too much.

I also usually put yoshimi files in a same directory if Yoshimi is involved, but - for instnace - I have a unique directory for soundfonts /SFZ etc. and wouldn't want them replicated. I know the problem of 'self-contained' audio (DAW) project is essentially unsolvable for all situations (add plugins and complexity increases exponentially...).

[Rosegarden-user] Rosegarden projects
I have an idea that might help with several issues. Many other programs have the concept of a project folder/directory that you are invited to create when you start afresh. Rosegarden doesn't. How about having this, but instead of a popup window, which is most annoying, have a button somewhere prominent labelled 'New Project'. Once defined by the user, Rosegarden would create it and immediately save the current default project file inside it carrying the same name.
