Hi,
I've posted the following message in Rosegarden-devel mailing list, and
Michael pointed me to an old thread from you about the same subject:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-audio-dev@music.columbia.edu/msg03322
Attached is a little program summarizing what I have found about the file
format at this moment. I would like to know if you have more information,
ideas or want to collaborate in this task.
Regards,
Pedro

Hi,
I have many old songs, stored as Cakewalk "WRK" files, and I don't use
Cakewalk or Sonar anymore. I'm not planning to do so in the future, 'cause
I'm sure I will use Rosegarden. Of course.
So, I need to convert my old WRK files to Rosegarden. But the WRK file is a
closed format, and not publicly documented. It will be necessary to reverse
engineer it, to rescue my old loved melodies along with the pile of shit.
My plan is to first write a 'cake2rg' standalone utility, to start learning
the file format and meanwhile to produce some practical results. After
that, I hope to be able to import the files directly into Rosegarden. This
won't happen before 1.0-final.
If somebody had the same idea and has the work almost finished, please let
me know ;-). Let's avoid duplicated work.
Comments, please.
Regards,
Pedro
