(I tried to post this to rosegarden-users but it appears that it is down for
the moment)
Hi, I haven't been using Rosegarden for some months, and now would like to
install it again. Am I better off with the latest release, or with the
current CVS version?

Greetings:
Has anyone run Finale 2004 under any recent version of WINE ? I've
been able to install and launch the demo, but all the text (and I
presume music) fonts are missing. If anyone knows how to correct this
problem please let me know. TIA!
Best regards,

I am confused. The man page for sox lists what appears to be
an effect called pick in which you provide it with a channel number
from 1 to 4 or a -l or -r flag to select either left or right audio to
feed to the output file.
After getting complaints from sox, I listed the -help output
and got:
sox: Known effects: avg band bandpass bandreject chorus compand copy
dcshift deemph earwax echo echos fade filter flanger highp highpass
lowp lowpass map mask pan phaser pitch polyphase rate resample
reverb reverse silence speed stat stretch swap synth trim vibro vol
no pick. The manual contains the following passage:
phaser gain-in gain-out delay decay speed < -s | -t >
pick [ -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -l | -r ]
pitch shift [ width interpole fade ]
polyphase [ -w < nut / ham > ]
Is this something peculiar to the Debian distribution for sox
or what? Am I just misunderstanding the instructions and trying to
use pick in the wrong way?
Thank you.

Question about the archive and replying to a message. I'm
running rh8, Planetccrma vintage March, 03. KDE is my
friend; KMail, my mail program. I get the list emails and
have no problems replying to a message if it's in my lau
mailbox.
When I'm viewing a message in the archive, and click
on Reply, the message to which I'm replying is not
quoted in the compose-message screen. I'm sure I can
solve this by cut/paste manually. Is there a way to
setup the mail program to generate the quote of the
the replied-to message automatically as when the original
message is in my mailbox? Or is this a limitation of
the archive setup?
Yes; I'm lazy,

I was editing an .rg file I had originally started in
old Rosegarden 2.1, which
a) for some reason wasn't recognized as an rg file by
rosegarden-4, and
b) would nevertheless allow me to import the MIDI that
had been created from the original,
BUT
I got to a certain point in one of the tracks, and it
would not let me insert any more notes or rests. The
piece is in 6/8, but there I was stuck with a 5/8
measure. I've not fully investigated possible
work-arounds, as it was past my bedtime, but I'm
thinking maybe I can create the rest of the track as a
different file, and splice it in at a certain point.
Will RG let me do this?
Thanks,
Mark

* Fixes to build on recent gcc
* New limiter for beter performance in JAMin
* Denomal fixes from Tim Blechmann (general and specifially the flanger)
* Many other things I've forgotten :(
This release is largely untested, I released it because there are a number
of important outstanding fixes. It may break some plugins, so beware.

How about 24/48 vs. 24/96? Some cards are optimized to 48 kHz and
if one goes to use 44.1 kHz the performance may not be optimal.
It even could be that in some cards the performance is optimized
for 96 kHz instead of 48 kHz.
One could start the tests by comparing if an audio bandlimited to
15 kHz comes through the system the same way independent of
what sampling rate was used. What would be the limit frequency
where differences starts? Is that frequency hearable? A/B tests
on the listener. If yes, it would naturally explane why one
hears the difference.
If all these aspects are already tested, I would like to
hear where. Perhaps www.aes.org would be a good place to start
searching.

Yes, POW-R algorithms seeem to be pretty popular and many engineers
will select a particular POW-R type to suit the source material. For me
(and my crap ears) the difference in dither types is hard to hear and
it was only when I had the chance to use decent monitoring systems
(Dunlavy /B&W/ Levinson) that I (think) I heard a difference.

Yep, dither beats truncation. I'm not a Pro Tools user so I this
information is secondhand but I think that if there is a chain of
plugins, data is maintained as float and then converted to the final
form (16, 24 or whatever) at the end of the chain. I think that the
same goes for most of the Windows DAWs. Somebody correct me if I'm
wrong though. So, there should be no need for dither apart from the
final word length reduction from 24 to 16 bit. Also, remember that
dither is cumulative and so the noise floor can rise.
Now, question about LADSPA and DAWs. Is it standard practice to dither
from float (or fixed) to integer post-processing? Also, do any (or all)
of the Linux DAWs act as described above i.e. maintaining a float
datatype if there is >1 plugin in a chain? I suppose that this would
require a standard "internal" format of some sort.

Hi,
i have tried the 2.6.7 kernel now for about two weeks and i always had massive realtime probs when running jackd. xruns would occur although the jack threads were running SCHED_FIFO. all kind of weird "subgraph timed out" messages etc. even running as root didn't better the situation one bit..
i had very good rt performance in 2.4.x with ll+preempt+caps patches. i could run 2*512 for hours w/o xruns [even compile a kernel while doing ardour stuff]. now in 2.6.x i couldn't even get 4*512 or 8*512 to work reliable at all [512 is the max period size of my soundcard]. i experienced the abovementioned symptoms..
well, i stumbled across this thread on the jackit-devel mailing list about trying to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.22 and run all jack stuff [server and clients with this env var set] and it worked wonders.. 2*512 works very nice again..
i suspect this is nptl related (see the jackit-devel thread for details: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8629219)..
i think the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL switch somehow makes ld.so link to another libc or something w/o nptl? anyone knows details?
so i just wanted to urge all the users of 2.6.x and who experience strange weird non rt operation with jack to try it. maybe it helps...
i wrote myself a bash script called "realrealtime" and put that in my path:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.22 $@
and use that to start al my jack stuff :) Any ideas about why jackd behaves so weird in the first place appreciated..

P.S.: i posted chrt output for jackd w/ and w/o realrealtime at:

Has anyone tested this latest version against the Cinelerra? The last version caused Cinelerra to crash at start-up while scanning for LADSPA plug-ins.
