First, lots of great feedback and opinions there, showing how everyone uses Rosegarden differently! :-)
I just wanted to clarify that from my point of view the above were really more open questions...
I was able to compose a complete soundtrack a few years ago using Rosegarden and interconnecting it with jack (transport, audi, alsa-midi) to software like Yoshimi, xjadeo, qmidiqrp, ardour, etc. and I really really do like the modularity of Linux for many different reasons. I was hoping to structure and share my experience with this use case a bit better and present it at a LAC as I had done in 2011 (sic!) with composing a piece (and in that case rosegarden was a central software) but then COVID hit... :-/
And yes, I guess pipewire coming into scene might be something to look as it gains traction, adoption and updates.
My current set-ups are mainly using Rosegarden with yoshimi (works like a charm for me), and / or fluidsynth (especially for creating demos etc. for my band), writing/composing scores possibly to be imported into MuseScore or directly exported to Lilypond. In some cases I've exported midi and re-imported it to Ardour when final to add quite a bit of actual audio.
So, great stuff and really good to see a user community discussing features and the future of RG ;-)
I'm wondering if, maybe after the next release, it would make sense to have some addendums to the current documentation which in some cases might be a bit dated, e.g. advising to use plugins, with especially DSSI not being the most maintained in distributions. Even the more 'current' formats like videos? I think this should be a user community effort and I always wondered if they'd be useful or not...
