Hi, sorry if this is obvious to you, but just in case, you'd
probably need a soundfont (like fluidr3) and a soundfont player (like
qsynth) to have sound - maybe rosegarden has a built-in soundfont
player? Anyway you should be able to make it output the midi of the
track to qsynth (using qjackctl), and therefore have sound.

HTH,

HI Renato
Nothing's very obvious to me and all help is much appreciated!

I start qjackctl and qsynth and rosegarden (in that order?)
I have soundfonts loaded into qsynth as well as rosegarden (dunno which is correct)
I would expect to be able to connect rosegarden out to qsynth in.
Cant seem to do that because: audio tab of qjackctl only has qsynth on left (readable/output) but not on right so cannot wire rosegarden into qsynth

In an earlier mail Paul had suggested I use a2jmidid -e
That makes a2j appear in midi tab whose output I can connect to qsynth but that does not help
