NAME

rosegarden4 — MIDI and audio sequencer and musical notation editor.

SYNOPSIS

rosegarden4 [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 rosegarden4 and rosegardensequencer commands.

rosegarden4 is a MIDI and audio sequencer, notation editor, and general-purpose 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 rosegarden4 application, the part which knows about and audio MIDI devices, and about real time. rosegardensequencer is executed automatically when rosegarden4 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 rosegarden4, or you can specify the sequencer command line arguments using the rosegarden4 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.
