ROSEGARDEN 1.7.0 RELEASED
The Rosegarden team are proud to announce the release of version 1.7.0
of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor
for Linux.
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
This release focuses mostly on notation enhancements, although there
are also substantial bug fixes in other areas.
The world of sequencer software for Linux is becoming increasingly
well populated with projects designed for different types of user --
with the appearance of QTractor, a MusE stable release expected soon,
Ardour 3 in the pipeline for studio users, as well as commercial
software such as Renoise, and old favourites like seq24.
This is great for Rosegarden, as it means we no longer feel we have to
please everyone: we are able to concentrate on the area that we find
most interesting for Rosegarden, namely as a sequencer for people who
also like to work in notation. Of course, all of the other existing
features will continue to be supported and to evolve, but we have a
clearer focus for the future than we have had.
The 1.7.0 release includes new contributions from established project
members Heikki Junes, Arnout Engelen, and Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas.
Translator Yves Guillemot has come over to the development side as
well. New members Philippe Macaire and Jaakko H. Kyro have joined the
development team, while Gunhild Andersen has joined us as a
documentation writer. We have also had code contributions from Colin
Fletcher, Alessandro Preziosi, Stefan Asserhall, "Flameeyes" Petten?,
and Anders Dahnielson, and a segment parameter presets database update
from Magnus Johansson -- and many new device library contributions.
Progress during this release cycle has been slow but steady, with
relatively little developer time available from the core team, but for
this release -- coordinated by D. Michael McIntyre -- we have managed
to bring together more contributions from more people than in any
previous release of Rosegarden.
New Features in 1.7.0
* Track headers in Notation view (Yves, since rev 8355)
* Test to see if a newer version is available, to help users stay
up to
date when distros sometimes carry quite old versions (Chris,
since rev
8374)
* New Welcome dialog that attempts to help you tweak your setup for
best
results (Chris, since rev 8374)
* Notation: The preferred stem direction in a chord around the
middle line
is down, which better meshes with LilyPond (Heikki, since rev
8381)
* Notation: The preferred beam position in a beamed group around
the
middle is below (Heikki, since rev 8383)
* Add icons for Add tempo and Add time signature in NotationView ->
Composition menu (Heikki, since rev 8415)
* Move to Staff Above or Staff Below to make sorting out
overlapping voice
parts considerably easier (Chris, since rev 8545)
* Radically reformed grace notes now work correctly for the first
time in
Rosegarden's history, and are now easy to use (Chris, since rev
8557)
* Sync segments to track parameters (correct clef, transpose
notation,
alter key signatures, highest/lowest playable notes) available as
option
when using the load preset button in the Track Parameters Box,
which
greatly simplifies the process of converting a standard MIDI file
into
notation suitable for real musicians who play transposing
instruments
(Arnout, since rev 8583)
* "Convert notation for..." function added to notation editor to
provide
another mechanism for using the sync segments functionality
(Arnout,
since rev 8593)
* Expanded/corrected instrument presets database (Magnus Johannson,
since
rev 8597)
* Export markers to LilyPond (Jaakko H. Kyro, since rev 8618)
* Alternative shortcut for Play/Stop in laptop use: Ctrl+Return
(Heikki,
since rev 8626)
* New track parameters for exporting square, curly, and nested
brackets to
LilyPond, making it possible to produce true piano notation and
complex
orchestral scores properly for the first time, without hand
editing of
the .ly code. (Replaces the now deprecated "Export staff group
bracket"
option with this new and much more flexible scheme.) (Michael,
since rev
8637)
* The transport mode setting is now stored with and restored from
individual compositions (Philippe, since rev 8646)
* Export the new radically reformed grace notes into LilyPond
syntax
(Heikki, since rev 8648)
* Now ties can finally be flipped (Chris, since rev 8653) and the
flipped
ties exported to LilyPond (Michael, since rev 8655)
* Arbitrary dynamics exported to LilyPond as markups if they are
not on
LilyPond's list of supported dynamic types (Michael, since rev
8687)
* Manually repositioned rests (as when rearranging badly rendered
overlapping voices) are now exported to LilyPond (Michael, since
rev
8694)
* Set a quick playback position marker in the main window with
Ctrl+1 and
recall it with 1 (Philippe, since rev 8705) (Sets working visual
marker
in rev 8803)
* New variable height tracks finally make working with overlapping
segments (eg. to contain concurrent voices for notation purposes)
an
easy and reasonable process, instead of the nightmare it has been
for
years (Chris, since rev 8740)
* Smarter selections in matrix and notation views now allow you to
remove
individual, previously-selected events without beginning the
entire
selection process from scratch (Michael, since rev 8744 (matrix)
and
8748 (notation))
New Documentation
* Five new informal supplemental tutorials by D. Michael McIntyre:
http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/
* Users Helping Users:
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/users_helping_users
* Wiki moves from SourceForge to our own site:
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/
Significant bug fixes since 1.6.0
* Serious overhaul of MIDI import to avoid scrambling karaoke and
similar
files into complete chaos (Chris, since rev 8515)
* Fix text codec dialog that appears when importing MIDI files with
lyrics
(Chris, since rev 8536)
* Splitting the segment now really splits the segment (Chris, since
rev
8538)
* Track Parameters now displays the correct track (Chris, since rev
8539)
* No more mysterious zero-length segments on import (Chris, since
rev
8540)
* Align lyrics with rests so they appear at the correct time, if
only
lyrics and rests in a segment (Chris, since rev 8541)
* Fix inability to build without JACK (Flameeyes' Petten?, since
rev 8546)
* Fix broken pitch chooser dialog to correct accidental display and
draggability (Arnout and Michael, various revisions since 8555)
* Replace perpetually broken grace note functionality (Chris, since
rev
8557)
* Fix crash when deleting a device that was in use (Chris, since
rev 8558)
* First note after 8va or 15ma section no longer at wrong octave
(Chris,
since rev 8559)
* Correct display of flipped stems in certain situations (Chris,
rev 8560)
* Repair very tricky ruler bug that prevented the composition from
being
able to start anywhere other than bar 1 (Michael, since rev 8573)
* Take track transpose into account when recording, move notation
by the
opposite amount, so the end result sounds correctly when played
back
(Michael, since rev 8576)
* It is now possible to tie notes that have shorter performance
durations
than their display durations (Chris, since rev 8595)
* Renamed spurious Halve/Double Speed functions to Double/Halve
Durations
and assigned new keybindings (Heikki, since rev 8615)
* Headers for the files in the Rosegarden library rewritten so that
all of
them show up in everyone's file dialogs (Anders Dahnielson and
Michael,
since rev 8666)
* The notation view no longer assumes it is always necessary to
display a
time signature, which eliminates a lot of extra time signatures
that
used to have to be hidden by hand (Chris, since rev 8679)
* Above/below directions of phrasing slurs now exported to LilyPond
correctly (Michael, since rev 8680)
* Hidden key signatures ignored during LilyPond export (Michael,
since rev
8693)
* Corrected a problem whereby you could edit the second of two
markers at
the same time position, and have the changes apply to the first
one at
that position (Philippe, since rev 8706)
* Build system tweaks and a fix for building with librdf in an
unusual
location (Pedro, since rev 8829)

As far as I know, that sound card is not supposed to have a Master Volume
Control, which is a consumer-card concept.

I have a Focusrite Saffire LE and a clean install of Hardy final with
the current -rt kernel on a MacBookPro.
Jack takes up 100% CPU and then crashes. I have completed the steps of
adding my user to the 'Disk' group for raw1394 access and setting the
proper rt stuff in permissions.rules
Starting jack wakes up my Saffire LE but then eats CPU and crashes.
Any and all guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello,
I am currently setting up a HTPC, for my use and also for the family. My sound
card is M Audio 24/96 Delta DIO, connected via the S/PDIF optical link to a A/V
receiver. Software mostly used is gxine and rhythmbox. For mixer, I use
Envy24control. For DVDs, gxine audio config is set to passthrough and Dolby/DTS
works fine, with Envy24Control Patchbay/Router settings to S/PDIF out. For
stereo music mp3s, ogg and flac formats are read with Envy24 settings to
DigitalMix.
What I would like to avoid is having to switch between S/PDIF and DigitalMix in
Envy24 depending on the encoding of the file (Dolby/DTS on the one hand or
mp3/ogg/flac on the other), as I aim to make the system as easy to use as
possible.
One solution would be to avoid passthrough in gxine settings for Dolby/DTS but
that would be detrimental to sound quality for DVDs, so it is not an option. I
have tried playing stereo files with gxine, but even though I can keep the
Pasthrough setting, I still need to set Envy24 to DigitalMix.
I do not really understand why a stereo file cannot be passed through directly
to the S/PDIF under the same conditions as a Dolby/DTS one. My purpose is to
send the data as is to the A/V receiver, which seems to be perfectly able to
handle whatever it is getting.
Any explanation, hints and solutions will be very much appreciated.
Albert
And my friend tried envy24control and reported this:
"I installed alsa-tools-gui, and the envy24control tool was impressive,
but had no master volume control, whether in digital mixer mode, or not.
It has a master monitor mode, but no master volume."
Ideas?

Greetings,
After another quarantine period, I am pleased to announce (yet) another
maintenance release of my flag-ship toy, Qtractor, an Audio/MIDI
multi-track "bedroom" sequencer for the techno-boy (and girl:).
Probably, the major feature highlight for this release, is the new
optional support for in-place audio clip pitch-shifting through Chris
Cannam's Rubber Band Audio Time Stretcher library. This one alone just
closes the gap on the techno-boy/girl bedroom-studio prospects, so let's
move along, nothing really new to see here :) However, given there were
many inner changes in the audio rendering engine everything might just
sound a lot less glitchy than previous releases. Therefore, everybody is
welcome to upgrade. And please, don't be shy ;)
Qtractor 0.1.3 (frugal damsel) has been released!
Grab it while visiting the project pages:
http://qtractor.sourceforge.nethttp://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor
Here's some direct links to the most wanted pieces:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.3.tar.gzhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.3-user-manual.pdf
And don't (ever) forget to drop by, over the upstream :)
http://www.rncbc.org
As usual, the complete change log is worth a look too, for the record:
- As one may find convenient sometimes, the global time display
format (frames, time or BBT) may now be changed on the main
transport time spin-box context menu.
- Left-clicking on the track list number column now toggles all
track content clip selection.
- Prevent audio-buffer initialization mashups when editing short
audio clips while playback is rolling and within clip region.
- Audio peak files gets a bit simplified, dropping the peak frame
count from its header; peak waveform graphics are now rendered
as straight lines when over the end of audio file.
- The drop-span option (View/Options.../Drop multiple audio files
into the same track) now also applies when importing tracks (as
in Track/Import Tracks/Audio...) to concatenate multiple audio
clips into one and the same new track.
- Audio and MIDI meter level colors are now user configurable (as
global configuration options, View/Options.../Display/Meters)
- First attempt for Qt4.4 build support, regarding the bundled
atomic primitives, which have changed upstream as advertised
(thanks to Paul Thomas, for spotting this one first time).
- Record monitor switch is now an accessible button option on all
track mixer strips; for visual consistency, the old bus "thru"
switch button has been renamed to "monitor".
- Force track-view position reset to origin on session close.
- Fixed segfault on inserting an external file into files widget.
- Mixer splitter sizes are now better saved/restored when closed.
- Track record monitoring is now a state option, being toggled
from the Track/State/Monitor menu; applies both to audio end
MIDI tracks: when set all input will be pass-through to the
current assigned output bus, including track plug-ins chain.
- Session dialog gets split in its own tab components, between
descriptive, time and view configuration ones.
- Drifting correction among audio and MIDI engines is now back,
but avoided while recording or should it be while looping?
(EXPERIMENTAL REGRESSION)
- Time-stretching percent value gets its semantics inverted,
as thought consistent with ones general sense for relative
stretching ie., lower to shrink and higher to make longer.
this is a major up-side-down change and should affect all
sessions saved with time-stretched audio clips.
- Slack space in main tracks and MIDI clip editor views are now
proportional to viewport width, leaving enough room for drag
and moving content past the current session length, specially
at the lower zoom levels.
- Clip end time is now also shown on tool-tip.
- When armed for recording, MIDI tracks are now monitored and
filtered through their own output bus, thus having the same
behavior as audio tracks; this also implies that all record
armed tracks won't playback their current content material
when recording is engaged and rolling; track mute and solo
states are now honored on record monitoring.
- Audio clip pitch-shifting makes its first appearance, with
the optional help from Chris Cannam's RubberBand library.
- A new MIDI editor tool is available: note/pitch randomize.
- Avoid (re)setting the default session directory if a session
cannot be open or loaded for some reason.
- Another nastiness bites the dust: a subtle but progressive
drifting has been swept away from the audio buffer looping;
zero buffer flushing is now also taken into account, which
was the cause for serious drifting on time-stretched clips.
- A major digital audio processing bug was tamed: audio clip
fade-in/outs are now linearly piece-wise applied, even at
the clip edges, giving a much smoother rendering and thus
mitigating the nasty click-and-pop artifacts that were in
fact due to some early design optimization with a poor and
sloppy implementation.
Cheers && Enjoy

A friend of mine, who is an audiophile but doesn't make music, is using
one with his Linux server (among other things, it serves audio into
their stereo system). He tells me there's no master volume control for
the card. He's tried KMix (no use whatever) and is now using alsamixer
(but no master volume control). Anyway to get a master volume control

I should have posted about this earlier but I forgot to do so.
I will be playing keyboards, via my Linux laptop, TONIGHT at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, last show, 8pm, on the bicycle powered stage right in front of the food area, backing up "The Fossil Fool" (http://www.fossilfool.com) along with a live drummer.
There are great bands on that stage all day, all powered by people pedalling bicycles.
Any Bay Area Linux Audio folks might want to come check it out. The Maker Faire in general is fantastic and worth attending, and if you're coming this afternoon, come see the penguin making sounds on the bicycle-powered stage.

Greetings,
If any of you have experience in this direction, perhaps you could
suggest what I should recommend to my better half (Ivy). Her Inspiron is
showing the all-too-familiar signs of infestation, slowing down to a
crawl and sometimes even stopping completely. She's not ready for Linux
yet, so she has to resolve this problem with XP. She's looking at some
free and some commercial programs that claim to clean and repair the
registry, but neither of us know if there are any especially recommended
programs or utilities for such a job.
Any advice from the dual-booters out there in LAU land ?
Best,
dp
