I use Rosegarden. It supports LADSPA and DSSI. It doesn't support LV2.

MusE has had mature DSSI for a long time, and mostly mature LV2 for a while now.
But our music score entry is not as robust as Rosegarden.
It gets the job done for some users, though.

Still, you might have a catalogue of Rosegarden projects or just prefer using it.

Everything I have is in Rosegarden.

I mostly work with Rosegarden's score editor. It works quite well - well enough for me to work out composition and sounds, then export as MusicXML and print using MuseScore. Nothing beats MuseScore when the goal is good, printed music.

Most of my sound sources are software, so DSSI support makes working with them in Rosegarden very convenient.

I don't do a lot of straight audio work (recording analog instruments or voices). My understanding of LV2 is that it's more focused on audio plugins than MIDI plugins. I'm probably wrong, I'm sure the experts here will correct me.

I know that Will tries MusE sometimes, and he contacts me if any issues.

I hope he hasn't given up on it ;-)

I have no idea!

I don't think I've looked at MusE for many years now. I landed on Rosegarden and haven't budged since. I really do like scores best.

why do you want a DSSI rather than an LV2 version?

Bummer. I don't know the technical end of things, just thought it might
be a possible start. If nothing else, a framework.

Has it really been that long since Yoshimi diverged from Zyn? Wow.
