Rosegarden for Debian
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
More recent developments
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
This package provides the latest release of Rosegarden at the time of
|
|
building the package, which might be and old version if you are using
|
|
Debian Stable. Check for recent developments in the Rosegarden web
|
|
page:
|
|
|
|
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
|
|
|
|
and in the CVS repository at the Rosegarden project page:

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:
|
|
|
|

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
|
|

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!
