Check for recent developments in the Rosegarden web +page: + + http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ + +and in the CVS repository at the Rosegarden project page: + + http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rosegarden + + + Audio and MIDI support + ---------------------- + +The Rosegarden Debian package is compiled with ALSA support for MIDI +input and output, and Jack support for audio, which is the preferred +configuration for the authors. This means that aRTs MIDI support is +not available. + +If you want to use audio output, you will need to have jackd running +while you run Rosegarden. You can configure Rosegarden to +automatically start jackd in the "sequencer" section of the +Rosegarden configuration dialog. + + + Examples + -------- + +You can find some Rosegarden example files in this directory: + +/usr/share/apps/rosegarden/examples + +And some additional test files can be found under: + +/usr/share/doc/rosegarden/testfiles + + + Real Time issues + ---------------- + +If you are using audio input/output, Rosegarden may generate +occasional error message windows saying that the JACK Audio subsystem +is losing sample frames. + +To fix this, you will need to improve the low-latency performance of +your system. You may need to adjust the configuration of jackd, and +maybe the Linux kernel configuration. Documentation on these issues +can be found in the jackd Debian package: + +/usr/share/doc/jackd/user-howto.gz +/usr/share/doc/jackd/README.Debian + +and in the JACK FAQ: + +http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php + + + System Timer Resolution + ---------------------- + + Please refer to http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/faq/#toc31 + + The best solution is to recompile your kernel with the HZ set to + 1000. Here's is the config on my system: + +$ grep HZ /boot/config-$(uname -r) +# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set +# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set +# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set +CONFIG_HZ_1000=y +CONFIG_HZ=1000 + + Unfortunately the details of kernel recompilation is beyond the + scope of this document. I'd suggest installing the kernel-package + package and reading the docs in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package + + + + Rosegarden Mailing Lists + ------------------------- + +You can subscribe to the Rosegarden users and developers mailing +lists, or browse the list archives at: + + http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/support/lists/ + +Or directly at: + + http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user + + http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel + + + Source Code Documentation + ------------------------- + +If you want to download the source package and have a look around the +code, you may want to generate the Doxygen documentation. Install +Doxygen, edit the Doxyfile in the Rosegarden source top-level +directory, change the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to a proper value, and run +"doxygen Doxyfile". + + +Enjoy! + + -- Enrique Robledo Arnuncio <era@debian.org>, Fri, 18 Feb 2005 12:25:09 -0500 + -- amended by Mike O'Connor <stew@vireo.org>, Tue Apr 17 19:18:00 EDT 2007 + |
