Rosegarden does need JACK for audio, yes. If you only want MIDI and
notation -- and when I say MIDI I include the ability to drive ALSA
soft synths such as Timidity, qsynth or Fluidsynth -- then you can
build it happily without JACK or run a JACK-built version without
running jackd.
I'm not sure that I understand this comment, although it sounds
quite interesting. Are you saying that I should rebuild the
program without JACK? Or that via a softsynth I can use the
program anyway, without running jackd?
What, if anything, would I be missing out on by running the program
in this way?
