In fact it's a port to Qt4, with no KDE dependencies at all. rosegarden also does scoring. I found it nearly
impossible to use for this.
It is one of the most complete DAW programs in linux but is now dated, stuck
with KDE3, could not run on KDE4. Being converted to QT4?
Yep, port to KDE4 (known as Thorn) is in the works. You can get the code from the current Rosegarden
Subversion trunk.
It's in a state which is worth messing with, but not yet worth
reporting bugs in -- there are still too many known omissions, and you
can't quite get real projects done with it yet.
The port is a big effort; it's taken a handful of part-time developers
nearly 18 months and over two thousand Subversion commits so far.
Most of the work is done, but it's a tiring business. It looks a bit
different from the KDE3 version, but don't expect much in the way of
new features; hopefully there should be some improvements to excuse
all that work, but the first goal is just to get most of the existing
features working.
I will note there are some nice enhancements to the notation GUI.
