Thanks for the info. Like I said, I'm just starting with making music
into song tracks; I don't care about printing out the score. So far I
looked at MuseScore. Seems pretty easy, need to find the instruments
sounds I like.
RoseGarden is next on the list to try. And I'll have a look at Lilypond
too.
IIRC one of Rosegarden's drawbacks is that the system freeze, when
trying to use HPET. The HPET/hrtimer might be needed to decrease MIDI
jitter.
Btw. a drawback of Qtractor is the file management. It's hard to archive
snapshots or to play a song using different directories, e.g. to play a
copy of the song. Rosegarden does those jobs very good. OTOH does
Qtractor generate MIDI files, while IIRC Rosegarden has got it's own
format.
As long as I can get it to end up as mp3, I'll be happy.
