Rosegarden for Debian ---------------------- More recent developments ------------------------ This package provides the latest release of Rosegarden at the time of building the package, which might be and old version if you are using Debian Stable. Check for recent developments in the Rosegarden web page: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ and in the CVS repository at the Rosegarden project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rosegarden Audio and MIDI support ---------------------- The Rosegarden Debian package is compiled with ALSA support for MIDI input and output, and Jack support for audio, which is the preferred configuration for the authors. This means that aRTs MIDI support is not available. If you want to use audio output, you will need to have jackd running while you run Rosegarden. You can configure Rosegarden to automatically start jackd in the "sequencer" section of the Rosegarden configuration dialog. Examples -------- You can find some Rosegarden example files in this directory: /usr/share/doc/rosegarden-trinity/examples And some additional test files can be found under: /usr/share/doc/rosegarden-trinity/testfiles Real Time issues ---------------- If you are using audio input/output, Rosegarden may generate occasional error message windows saying that the JACK Audio subsystem is losing sample frames. To fix this, you will need to improve the low-latency performance of your system. You may need to adjust the configuration of jackd, and maybe the Linux kernel configuration. Documentation on these issues can be found in the jackd Debian package: /usr/share/doc/jackd/user-howto.gz /usr/share/doc/jackd/README.Debian and in the JACK FAQ: http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php System Timer Resolution ---------------------- Please refer to http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/faq/#toc31 The best solution is to recompile your kernel with the HZ set to 1000. Here's is the config on my system: $ grep HZ /boot/config-$(uname -r) # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000 Unfortunately the details of kernel recompilation is beyond the scope of this document. I'd suggest installing the kernel-package package and reading the docs in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package Rosegarden Mailing Lists ------------------------- You can subscribe to the Rosegarden users and developers mailing lists, or browse the list archives at: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/support/lists/ Or directly at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel Source Code Documentation ------------------------- If you want to download the source package and have a look around the code, you may want to generate the Doxygen documentation. Install Doxygen, edit the Doxyfile in the Rosegarden source top-level directory, change the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to a proper value, and run "doxygen Doxyfile".
