Only if "Cut it loose" doesn't mean forfeiting even a modicum of ambition. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see Rosegarden blossom to its full potential (pun just presented itself) For this particular feature -- it looks like something is just misaligned, maybe a trivial fix(?) The "*.h2song" file seems like a very straightforward, non-cryptic XML format, which just needs a bit of undivided attention Someone just needs to keep track of all the mappings -- Hydrogen's internal mappings: instrument id's and how Rosegarden tries to read them and map each instrument to a pitch value. Doesn't sound hard. The workaround I tried -- exporting to midi, then importing that midi to RG -- entails a similar task of tracking the mappings. Back to "Cut[ting] it loose": I really think a maximal symbiosis between Hydrogen and RG would add a tremendous amount of value and creative power.... i wouldn't give up on the idea. (Percussion is huge!!)... I know, a few years ago I was whining about proper percussion notation in RG... and I still haven't given up on THAT idea either! ;-)) I'd recommend perhaps adding a parenthetical "(Experimental)" to this item menu (and whatever notes commentaries necessary in the docs), but not to give up on it completely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
