Re: [Rosegarden-user] a few newbie questions
Hi, I'm no expert on external MIDI devices (for playback - I use them only for input) but I'll skip to your more use-oriented question...

Overall I really want to like and use Rosegarden, but it seems very fragile and so far just setting up a few MIDI and audio tracks and configuring my studio's MIDI devices has led me to what seems like a broken file which I can't load anymore. I never used audio with Rosegarden, just MIDI. And I did a precise workflow choice related to how audio works in Linux. Having Jack (and Jack transport), it didn't make much sense to me to use Rosegarden for audio when I could use Ardour in parallel. I'm not bashing Rosegarden's audio features here, just reporting my personal view that Rosegarden is an excellent sequencer with fantastic notation support able to rival some of the commercial ones under some aspects. It strength also lies in using Jack and some of its features. I was able to compose a feature film soundtrack with RG last year and sync it with the video through jack transport and the excellent xjadeo (jack transport-enabled video player). Of course RG does have bugs and as 2020 approaches it would be nice to have e.g. Jack midi or LV2 and some UI updates (personally more the former than the latter as there are LV2 clients out there). I have always thought that the 'unix philosophy' works well with linux audio as well, but today the trend seems to have all-in-one software. See Ardour introducing MIDI, which IMHO was unnecessary. If I could have my take on the rosegarden 'roadmap' audio would be low priority and would push on other 'midi'/jack features and improvements, but I can see this is not a very popular point of view Well I see that was a bit more of an answer to your question, anyway my two cents as a relatively long-standing Rosegarden user (and strong estimator) ;) Lorenzo. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

I confirm this issue. Another way to get the sound is to press stop then press play again. I'll create a bug ticket about it.

That seems like a bug... what does MIDI clock have to do with metronome? That definitely needs a look. - Sometimes when starting rosegarden, it complains about a missing MIDI device (they are all there) and then segfaults. I've been involved with the project for 15 years, and I've added, subtracted, and changed MIDI devices around thousands of times over the years. I've never seen this cause a segfault. Changing the MIDI landscape around doesn't even generate informational messages. Rosegarden just tries to hook things up like they were last time, and when it can't, you have to go diddle the connections manually. Rosegarden complains about a missing audio server, and I think it warns you when no audio server means no synth plugins. I have no doubt you're running into some issue, but I will be surprised if it turns out you're describing it accurately. Pasting actual error messages would be useful, as would a stack trace of the segfault. It then seems to load some kind of autosave file, but it doesn't have the last saved state of the actual file I want. Going off memory here, I'm pretty sure it detects the presence of an autosave file, and offers you the option of loading that instead of loading the file off disk. You should be able to load the last saved state or the autosave version, at your discretion. That's how it's _supposed_ to work, but I haven't tested this lately, and it might be broken. - Audio clips don't start when the transport is rewound and then played... it is necessary to press play and then rewind. I haven't run into that, but frankly I don't use Rosegarden for audio anymore. I got into recording drums with multiple microphones, and I switched to Windows for that. What this says about Linux audio is probably pretty damning, but it is what it is. Overall I really want to like and use Rosegarden, but it seems very fragile and so far just setting up a few MIDI and audio tracks and configuring my studio's MIDI devices has led me to what seems like a broken file which I can't load anymore. Rosegarden is embarrassingly quirky and fragile to have been in development so long, but that has a lot to do with how the volunteer-driven development model works. People come and go, people work in fits and spurts, people work off of different ideas for how things ought to be, and project leadership can't be too strict without running off all the volunteers. The result is something very organic, like a home-grown apple that tastes pretty good when you ignore the worm tracks and the superficial black blight on the peel. On the bright side, when Rosegarden does manage to mangle a file, we can usually hack on it by hand to get it working again. The storage format is gzip compressed XML, and it's often a matter of just deleting one errant tag or something. If you pass me a copy of the file, I'll be happy to have a look and see if I can hack it back into behaving itself. I haven't experienced a truly serious loss of work in quite a few years. Are people actually using this successfully with multiple external MIDI devices? Yes. Is there any way to debug things when a file doesn't load? I tried using gdb to check a stacktrace but I don't think I'm familiar enough with the codebase to really know what's going on. In this area, I know how to do more than I can explain how to do. It's easiest just to let someone with more experience have a go with the file. The UI of rosegarden is as close to my dream app as I can imagine... simple, great notation editing, audio and MIDI recording... but if I'm worried that I won't be able to reload the file I'm working on, it's unfortunately not that useful. :( I think this is mostly growing pains. Rosegarden is definitely quirky, and will occasionally have serious glitches, but again, I haven't experienced a truly serious loss of work in quite a few years. Almost everything that goes wrong is recoverable, but learning how to speak those incantations probably qualifies as some kind of black art. It ain't perfect, but for no-cost software it's worth ten times the price! -- D.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] a few newbie questions
Hi Yves, Yeah, it's very strange. I do a lot of MIDI hardware development, so I'm 99% sure that I'm receiving all the messages. They are definitely not coming through. Maybe there is something else wrong with my setup. Also, an unrelated problem I noticed that when playing back a project with audio tracks, they don't playback if I just press Play. I have to press Play and then Rewind (while playing) for them to actually be heard.

I'd like to back up what Ted said about the color scheme. We used to use a stylesheet for this, which was user-editable in theory. In practice, it cannot be overstated what a complete nightmare the stylesheet was. I jumped at the chance to have that train wreck replaced with code. This does mean changing the style requires getting waist deep in code now. -- D.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] a few newbie questions
Hi Yves, Thanks for the info. I checked aconnect and sync out seems to be connected to every MIDI device, even ones that are not set up in rosegarden. (my sound interface has a port which I don't use... it's assigned) But when I start and stop I can see that a port sends START, Song Position, and STOP, but never sends any ticks. I viewed the data with MIDI-OX on another computer. Are there any other kind of settings I need to make? It would also be nice if it wouldn't connect up non-related MIDI devices since I do other MIDI things on my computer which might be upset by receiving useless clock messages.

There's probably a 'proper' way to do this, but I just close Rosegarden, then move all the files into the dsame directory as the .rg file.
