[linux-audio-user] metronome-free MIDI recording

I'm curious how everybody handles MIDI recording. I find it hard to believe that everyone records to a straight tempo using the metronome, only to add ritardandos and accelerandos later in some artificial way by editing the tempo track. That may work for some kinds of music (dance music perhaps), but certainly not everyone works that way.In particular, I'm recording organ music, which is similar to piano music or indeed almost any classical music in its need for expression. But if I turn off the metronome and record at a free tempo I find that the transports and bar information are more or less useless. It makes it very hard to re-record segments or set up loops, etc. How do you handle MIDI wrt tempo? I'm using Rosegarden, but not entrenched yet. -- De gustibus non disputandum est.
