How to set rosegarden?
(I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx)
Thanks in advance

Not sure if you've already answered your own question from my posting at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8-04-a-697198/
In case you haven't:
Rosegarden itself does not produce sound, and must tell a separate "midi synthesizer" what sounds to produce. The synthesizer is usually software, though it can be hardware if you have a MIDI card. In Ubuntu 10.04, the synthesizer is by default Timidity, although it doesn't always work well; for example, certain instruments seem to be missing and produce no sound. I use Qsynth/Fluidsynth myself. Also you need to have a soundfont installed.
See the posting listed above (right here on LinuxQuestions) for more details. If you forget the URL address for that post, you can always do a Google search for "rosegarden" and "member success stories" and "site:linuxquestions.org".
