One thing I noticed from your screenshot is that in the QjackCtl
Connection window you are showing the 'Audio' tab, while what I was
showing is the 'ALSA' tab which are ALSA Midi connections...
If my setup sucks I'd appreciate a step-by-step
alternative.
Personally I'd say it's definitely a valid set-up. Now-a-days I tend not
to use DSSIs any more and use what I referred to as 'external' meaning
also software running outside of rosegarden (like Yoshimi or FluidSynth
or even Carla, etc.). There are pros and cons to both set-ups and this
is general to any sequencer / DAW IMHO.
What I like about the more modular set-up is that I can e.g. do quick
musical 'sketches' by just firing the FluidSynth General Midi soundfont
or Yoshimi and connecting to those, then 'refine' the sound addding
other synths etc.
But again it really depends on one's personal 'creative flow' :-)
I usually use GM and ZASF-dssi sounds
after also having used 'external' ZynAddSubFX. I
gave up the standalone Zyn because the dssi gives
the same sounds with ease of use since they are
shown in the volume mixer. I'd love to see a
Yoshimi-dssi but understand that one isn't coming.
I'm not really 'using' Yoshimi yet, just getting warmed
up to it with a view to having IT replace the Zyn dssi
which is a total fubar (numbers are changing with every
version change).
I will say I use Yoshimi (stand-alone) a _lot_ and always control
instrument parameters from Yoshimi directly. If this is interesting I
can go more into the set-up maybe in another thread.
As an aside, because both Rosegarden _and_ Yoshimi will have upcoming
releases quite soon I was thinking of maybe doing a quick 'how-to' video
on 'quick piece prototyping with Rosegarden and Yoshimi'... If it is
interesting for people :-)
Unfortunately the MIDI device manager (Studio > Manage MIDI Devices)
doesn't seem to report if a 'Playback' Rosegarden MIDI device is
connected to multiple ALSA inputs.
However you could check this with something like QJackCtl via its
connections tab (or graph in most recent versions is the default).
Here is a screenshot of how the connections could look like in a
situation which could be similar to what you describe, where Rosegarden
would be sending MIDI to both Fluidsynth with a general midi soundfont
and Hydrogen together, thus you hearing both sounds:

I ususally leave qJackctl do the auto connections, as
shown in the snapshot.
I'm wondering if in your case there's some levels of 'auto' connections
/ wizardry going on which essentially ends up connecting the output
meant for Hydrogen to QSynth as well?
I _think_ Rosegarden tries to re-connect stuff when you load a saved
file and that has messed up my connections a few times.
Typically I've found out that the best approach is to start Rosegarden
*first*, load the file and _then_ load external synths like QSynth,
Yoshimi etc.
Is there a rosegarden 'upload' facility where I could
upload the *.rg file consisting of just these 2 tracks?
Not that I know of, but I think some file sharing and pasting the link
here would be OK.
Still the RG file itself might not be helpful in understanding your
issue because it most probably depends on what Rosegarden's MIDI
'output' is connecting to on your system (see above)
True, I'm starting to see that now, I was tryiong
to erase the segment contents in vain until blue in
the face!
I've had issues before with notes not ending/closing,
is there a way to start a new track but paste the entire
staff and NOTHING but the staff notes to it?
This seems unrelated to the 'synth problem' you describe? Could you
provide a bit more detail maybe?
I reported it way back when. A segment might
just like hang on the last note played which
then continues as one of infinite duration.
I'm not sure what this could be. A shot in the dark: is that last note
at the very very end of the piece? In that case adding a 'blank' measure
might help?
