+.TH ROSEGARDEN-AUDIOFILE-IMPORTER 1 "19 March 2006"
+
+.SH NAME
+
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer - Helper application to convert and
+import audio files for Rosegarden.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer -t [<version>]
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer --conftest [<version>]
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer -l [<version>]
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer [-r <rate>] -w <inputfile>
+rosegarden-audiofile-importer [-r <rate>] -c <inputfile> <outputfile>
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.BR -t " " [<version>],
+.BR --conftest " " [<version>]
+
+Exit successfully if the importer is available and working [and is
+of at least version <version>]. If some of the required helper
+applications are missing, also print to stdout a line saying
+"Required: application1, application2", listing the missing
+programs.
+
+.BR \-l " " [<version>]
+
+List known file extensions (e.g. ogg wav flac). Return code is same
+as for -t (so can combine two calls into one)
+
+.BR \-r " " <rate>
+
+Test whether any work is needed to convert the input, either because
+it isn't in a Rosegarden-compatible format or because its samplerate
+differs from <rate>. Exit successfully if no work is required; return
+error code 2 if conversion required, 3 if resampling required, 4 if
+both required, 1 for other error.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Helper application to convert and import audio files for Rosegarden.
+
+Can take audio files of various kinds as input, always produces WAV
+files that are compatible with Rosegarden as output.
+
+Not actually specific to Rosegarden in any way, except that
+Rosegarden needs to know it can rely on its presence and calling
+interface.

+.TH ROSEGARDEN-PROJECT-PACKAGE 1 "10 February 2006"
+
+.SH NAME
+
+rosegarden-project-package - converts between Rosegarden (.rg) files
+and Rosegarden Project (.rgp) files.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+orosegarden-project-package [--quiet] [--pack] [--unpack] [--conftest] [FILE] [.rg|.rgp]
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.BR \-\-quiet " " Be silent
+.BR \-\-unpack " " Unpack .rgp file
+.BR \-\-pack " " Pack .rg file plus associated external data files into .rgp file
+.BR \-\-conftest " " Test environment for necessary installed components
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This program converts between Rosegarden (.rg) files and Rosegarden
+Project (.rgp) files. It is primarily intended to be used internally and
+transparently by the Rosegarden application.
+
+A Rosegarden file (.rg) is a single file (in gzipped XML format)
+that defines a Rosegarden composition in terms of events, segments,
+programs, plugin data, references to audio files, and so on. Some
+of these types of information depend on the presence of external
+files such as the audio files or plugin preset data, without which
+the file cannot be used.
+
+A Rosegarden Project (.rgp) file is a bundle of files, including the
+Rosegarden file itself, as well as any audio file or other external
+data it requires, in compressed form. A Rosegarden Project file is
+intended to be portable and self-contained, but the Rosegarden
+program itself does not (at the time of writing) understand these
+files directly.
+
+This program can take a Rosegarden file, examine it to find out
+which other data files it uses, and pack it to create the
+corresponding Rosegarden Project file. Conversely, it can also take
+a Rosegarden Project file and unpack it as a project directory for
+use with Rosegarden.
+
+.SH REQUIREMENTS
+
+Working installation of Lilypond 2.0 or later KGhostView or KPDF or
+XPDF or GhostView or GS XDialog or Konsole or RXVT or Xterm [for
+graphical mode only]

+.TH ROSEGARDEN 1 "23 July 2006"
+
+.SH NAME
+
+rosegarden, rosegarden-sequencer - MIDI and audio sequencer and
+musical notation editor.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+rosegarden [Qt-options] [TDE-options] [options] [File]
+
+rosegardensequencer [Qt-options] [TDE-options] [playback_1 playback_2 capture_1 capture_2]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This manual page documents briefly the rosegarden and rosegardensequencer commands.
+
+rosegarden is a MIDI and audio sequencer, notation editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing application for Unix and Linux. It is a TDE application, which means to build it you need the TDE libraries. However, once installed it can be run within the TDE environment or any other desktop or window manager environment.
+
+rosegardensequencer is part of the rosegarden application, the part which knows about and audio MIDI devices, and about real time. rosegardensequencer is executed automatically when rosegarden starts, so you will probably never need to execute it directly. You may want to specify command line options, though, to change the JACK ports used for audio capture and playback. In order to do that, you can invoque rosegardensequencer directly before running rosegarden, or you can specify the sequencer command line arguments using the rosegarden configuration dialog, and restarting the application. This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-'). A summary of options is included below.
