You should tell the Rosegarden developers that because they make the

Rosegarden is missing some stuff that NoteEdit probably has (multiple
voices per staff, easy insertion/deletion of measures), but
Rosegarden has always worked "out of the box" for me, which is why I
use it, whereas NoteEdit was problematic (see below).
bad luck, maybe? :) maybe they fixed the bugs in the meantime?
with the latest version, i didn't have any of those problems (i remember
there were some with the way midis were imported, though)
I doubt
it's a KDE issue, either, since Rosegarden (the *other*
score editor) is also a KDE application.
rosegarden is not a score editor and will *hopefully* never be.
remember each tool has some specific purposes. score editing is not
what rosegarden is supposed to do. i hate combos. and perhaps all gnu/linuxists
should. :)
rosegarden should deal best with the way music sounds, not with the
way music looks.
Yes, I have tried it. It kept crashing on me, and I had trouble
getting it to find my MIDI devices (the TSE3 library, I think, was
the issue, it was segfaulting on startup), and refused to import any
of my MIDI files. I use Rosegarden extensively for score editing.
have you tried noteedit? It doesn't support Jack either, which is crucial
for the setup I am using for composing and recording.
didn't know that :(
however, my point was not that noteedit was perfect. my point was that
we might want to... care about it, at least...
promoting it may help it improve.
