No reason to eliminate this, Ardour is capable of adjusting the

port latencies (which include clients like specimen).

I've been thinking about the potential for this to
happen. What other
instruments are you using with RoseGarden, and what buffersize are you
using for JACK? Specimen is designed to play jitter-free with large
buffers, but a consequence of this is that all notes will lag behind
by exactly the length of the buffer. Apps which play notes as soon as
they get them won't appear to lag at all, but once you start using
larger buffer sizes (like 2048) things will start to sound funny.
Jitter-free is absolutely important over all else. If you use
a large jack period, then there is no way around the latency when
triggered from realtime sequencer input. However, the upcoming
midi-over-jack could solve some of these issues when the sequencer
supports it.
But I
haven't really cared about that so much, since once I liked
the instrument sounds, my thought was to record the instruments
individually into tracks in Ardour, and then adjust timing and
relative gain there.
Eh... this is a nuisance, the necessity of which I'd like to
eliminate.
