A bit of a ramble here - stay with me guys :)

Last week, I screwed up an update on my 'office' machine so badly that the
only sensible option was a re-install. However, because of the problems I've
been having I decided to install Squeeze, instead of Wheezy.

For Rosegarden I got the 13164 svn, and there was no problem with hearing
played notes. I then took the compiled image down to my music machine and lo
and behold exactly the same!

In puzzlement I fetched the same source version and compiled it on that machine
(running Wheezy). Once again, the problem seems to have disappeared - although
still need to specify qtlibdir. My best guess is that one of the updates I also
did has fixed some qt problem, as nothing else had changed.

Looking around the two systems I notice that Squeeze has /usr/lib usr/lib32 and
a symlink usr/lib64 that points back to /usr/lib. However, Wheezy has /usr/lib
and *inside* that is x86_64-linux-gnu.

I don't want to mess about really, but I'm wondering if adding
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to PATH might resolve the config issue, and
also correct some anomalies I have with programs that use the boost lib.

However, back to Rosegarden. I've found two more new (I think) problems.

In the matrix window it used to be possible to have the velocity ruler
showing, then select a group of notes and change the velocity of the all of
them by dragging one of the velocity tabs up and down. If I try that now, just
the note related to that tab changes and the group selection goes odd. This is
not a show-stopper, but it was very nice for adding or changing the dynamics
of a track.

The other problem which is quite new, is the behaviour of the volume control in
the 'special parameters' box. If you adjust this while the transport is
stationary nothing happens!

If, on playback or record you adjust it on a track that has a segment playing,
it seems to work normally. If you adjust it on a track that you have selected
for MIDI input but doesn't actually have a segment running at that time
(you're playing live) it again does nothing. Very strange.

Putting control changes in a track seems to work OK, so this again is not a
show-stopper, just a nuisance.

Anyway, enough of all this, and for some light relief, here is a track I
recorded not too long ago... 100% Rosegarden+Yoshimi, Oh, and real guitar at
the end :)
