Hi, sorry if this is obvious to you, but just in case, you'd<br>
probably need a soundfont (like fluidr3) and a soundfont player (like<br>
qsynth) to have sound - maybe rosegarden has a built-in soundfont<br>
player?<br>

No, it doesn't. That's what qsynth, whysynth or Timidity (if you can make it work) is for.</blockquote><div><br><br>I upgraded rosegarden, gave up on qsynth and (re)started timidity to use jack.<br>Now rosegarden plays without any new connection -- so thanks.<br>

Anyway you should be able to make it output the midi of the<br>
track to qsynth (using qjackctl), and therefore have sound.<br>

RG 11.11.42 just automatically connects.<br>
<br>
I use RG mostly for scores. Bringing in a MIDI file usually requires some cleanup. For one thing, RG prefers contrapuntal compositions to have a separate track for each of the melodies, while lots of MIDIs from the web have all the melodies on the same track.</blockquote>
