Hi all,
just to introduce myself. I'm a developer mainly in C++ and Java on Linux
platform. In my free time I like to play jazz guitar. To accompany my
improvisation practicing I has been using MIDI files generated by MMA. To
facilitate writing of MMA files and playing them back I created LinuxBand.
I hope you'll enjoy it.

LinuxBand is a GUI front-end for MMA (Musical MIDI
Accompaniment)<http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/>.
Type in the chords, choose the groove and LinuxBand will play a musical
accompaniment for you.
It’s an open source alternative to Band-in-a-Box featuring:
- Easy to use graphical interface
- Open and well-documented data format
- Output to JACK Midi <http://jackaudio.org/> to facilitate co-operation
with other audio applications

Cool. Looking forward to playing with this.
Being a dedicated Jammer-Pro user for all these years (works almost 100% using
Wine), an opensource alterntive is great news. More styles and riffs, use them
both! Humanize the MIDI with the Ntonyx Style Enhancer -- I've been with this
one since they made it, also works maybe 90% ("destructive" editing only)
using Wine. Then on to ... choose one: Ardour, Rosegarden, Qtractor, etc. (ex-
windows Cakewalk user).
