Hey Marco,

I use a combination of Linuxsampler and Rosegarden to write my music, occasionally sequencing orchestral compositions.
Personally, I find using Rosegarden very intuitive and it works for me. I'm afraid I don't have any experience with Musescore though!

As to your questions about handling notation and controlling note velocity, Rosegarden, (I think) uses Lilypond, a notation program for doing up notation scores etc, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to write out notation. Also, as Rosegarden is a midi sequencer, it's quite easy to edit the velocity values (and anything else that can be controlled via midi) from rosegarden.

Hello everyone, it's the first time I send a message to this list.

I would like to ask for suggestions for a project I'm about to start.
For a musical I need to record some audio tracks of orchestral
music (at least one, of about 50 sec.). Once I would have used
Finale+GPO for this but now I will try the Linux way instead.

The most important program I'm looking for is a sequencer able to handle
notation (I never worked on piano roll) and able to control easily note
velocity (to make the orchestra sound realistic).

For this pourpose I evaluated Rosegarden and Musescore, what do you
think about them? Is there something better out there?

To get the orchestral instruments I was thinking to LinuxSampler (I
already have all the sampled notes in wavs). Also here, do you think
there could be a better approach?

Many thanks.
