rosegarden, rosegarden-sequencer - MIDI and audio sequencer and musical
notation editor.
SYNOPSIS
rosegarden [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [File] rosegardensequencer [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [playback_1 playback_2 capture_1 capture_2]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the rosegarden and rosegardensequencer commands.
rosegarden is a MIDI and audio sequencer, notation editor, and generalpurpose music composition and editing application for Unix and Linux.
It is a KDE application, which means to build it you need the KDE 3.x
libraries. However, once installed it can be run within the KDE 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.
