No, it doesn't. That's what qsynth, whysynth or Timidity (if you can make it work) is for. I upgraded rosegarden, gave up on qsynth and (re)started timidity to use jack. Now rosegarden plays without any new connection -- so thanks. Anyway you should be able to make it output the midi of the track to qsynth (using qjackctl), and therefore have sound. RG 11.11.42 just automatically connects. I use RG mostly for scores. Bringing in a MIDI file usually requires some cleanup. For one thing, RG prefers contrapuntal compositions to have a separate track for each of the melodies, while lots of MIDIs from the web have all the melodies on the same track. So how to cleanup? I only see one staff at a time. Basic questions: Is rosegarden the (correct) tool to edit/doctor midi files? Whats the best resource to get into midi jargon like track, channel etc? And then map it onto rosegarden?
