With Rosegarden and the piano roll, I can easily stretch/move each of
the MIDI notes, but I didn't find an easy way to synchronize with my
audio wave (though I haven't used Rosegarden a lot, so perhaps I missed
something).
Ideally I would like to:
+ load in one program both the audio and the MIDI file
+ see the soundwave forms for both audio and MIDI plus the piano roll
for the MIDI file
+ if something is not synchronized properly (due to the nature of the
music, I can see it nicely by inspectint the soundwave), I would like
to stretch/move the MIDI notes in the piano roll and
interactively see
how the soundwave changes, so that I can immediately see if the MIDI
and the audio are better synchronized.
Is there a tool where I can do that easily? Perhaps there is some other
procedure/tool that can help me with this?
Actually, I think Ardour3 would be ideal for this, as you can easily
work with MIDI piano roll and audio waveforms right on the same screen
(most sequencers open MIDI piano roll up into a separate window). As you
can see in this screenshot, you have everything right in front of you
and its easy to set synch points for both audio and MIDI:

won't say that qtractor is ideal or whatever
but given enough zoom level and some nice and neat window management
(i'm happy with kwin:)) on both main track-view canvas and specific midi
clip editor (aka. piano-roll) you can work it out just fine, i guess...
it's what i've been doing for ages anyway, my own cat/dogfood, i know;)
