Package: rosegarden4 Version: 0.9.9-1 Severity: normal Hello,
In the past I have been able to use rosegarden4 fine. Sure it has it quirks, but I can generally get acceptable results. Today it has been misbehaving, and I still can't geet it to do some things properly. 1. Of my tune, one track is set to device #1 timidity 128:0/general/72 Clarinet. Another is device #2 timidity 128:0/general/74 Flute. The rest (another 4) are device #3 timidity 128:0/general/acoustic grand piano. However all tracks are played back as piano (yes this was working yesterday). I have tried resecting these details, but it doesn't help. The following apply to the notation editor: 2. It takes approx 5+ seconds just to enter/change/undo a note. This tends to be frustrating when entering a lot of notes. In case timidity was using too much CPU power I stopped it, but rosegarden4 didn't speed up at all. I can't imagine why entering and displaying notes would be such a time consuming process. 3. If I mis-enter a note (seems to be easy to do as rosegarden forms its own opinion where the note should go, not nessarily the position of the mouse), sometimes I will try to correct by the undo operation (ctrl-Z). On some occasions rosegarden will not delete the note from the display, but continue drawing it even though it is no longer possible to select it. 4. I have 2/4 time selected. As I enter notes in the left hand side of the bar, the half rest is pushed over to the right, making the total number of beats in the bar exceed the maximum of two. Can't it count? The "normalize rest" feature does fix this, I would have hoped this could happen automagically (in fact it usually does). Normalizing such a bar has a side effect of messing up bars to the right. 5. I have the D minor key, or one flat (B flat). For some reason rosegarden insists on modifying other notes in wonderful ways I haven't requested or wanted. For example, it wanted to make a low C sharp. I have to explicitly make it natural. In fact, it seems to be using the last modified value I used for the note, which was back several bars ago. I consider this wrong. Standard music rules say that all modifications cease to exist at bar boundaries. 6. No obvious way of modifying chords. Especially timing. I have ended up in a big mess trying to change the timing of a chord. Even deleting the choord and re-entering it doesn't help, on reentering the choord rosgarden sometimes insists on treating each note seperately (and increases the total length of the bar to match). 7. Cut and pasting or moving large chunks of notes can really mess up the display at times, I haven't worked out why. Undo doesn't always fix such problems. 8. When entering a note with the mouse, it should be possible to cancel entry of the note while the left mouse button is still down, e.g. by pushing the right mouse button or pushing escape. 9. Something seems really screwy with the timing today on playback. Normally timing on this computer works great. I haven't been able to work out what the problem is yet though (it might be skipping notes). Sorry for writing such a big long list, I thought it might be preferred this way rather then writing a bug report for each item. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages rosegarden4 depends on: ii jackd 0.99.0-2 JACK Audio Connection Kit (server ii kdelibs4 4:3.3.1-4 KDE core libraries ii khelpcenter 4:3.3.1-4 KDE Help Center ii libasound2 1.0.7-4 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjack0.80.0-0 0.99.0-2 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii liblrdf0 0.4.0-1 a library to manipulate RDF files ii libmad0 0.15.1b-1 MPEG audio decoder library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.3-7 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
