Long time rosegarden user here. Something that's always escaped me is quantizing. What I want to use it for is simple notation entry. I find notating syncopated tunes extremely difficult, so I imagined that once I had a keyboard hooked, I could play the tune and be able to edit and harmonize it immediately afterwards. But not really. Obviously rosegarden pulls in the result of my playing at a much higher resolution than how I was attempting to play it and adds all sorts of markings to describe it the notes and although the score says one value of note its position in the staff, the performed notes original values (length and position) are still associated with each note. I diligently remove all markings -- that's fairly easy. But the quantization process leaves me cold. After quantizing (grid, legato or heuristic) I naively expect that the notes will now have standard length and position values to the note value resolution that I choose, that the human factor in my data entry will be eliminated, and that I can now edit that line as if I had painstakingly typed it in myself -- with all of the syncopated values I find it so hard to calculate manually. But pretty well none of that is true. I usually have to recreate the line as written with brand new notes to do anything to it. Am I using quantization wrong? Do I have a skewed idea of what it's for? Any help on this?
