Nice new knobs? Ahem. Anyway, I wonder how fast RG 0.9.9 appears in
PlanetCCRMA. may be someone has an FC2 compiled RPM?

BTW, I was demoing 0.9.8 to a musician yesteraday. He told me that
Rosegarden has really improved since the last time he saw it (about a
year ago), but he was very upset with the notation editor. I'm not
sure whether all his remarks are viable for 0.9.9, but anyway, to sum
it up:

- a good notation editor need two modes of displaying recorded score -
"as is" mode (when you see all mistakes like wrong durations and
rests) and "prepress" mode (when you see it pseudoquantized so that
you can just transpose some notes and so on and then print the score);

- jogging in notation editor should be done according to current
quantization variable, e.g. if quantize is 1/8, a note should be
jogged by 1/8 at once and not always by 1/32 as on 0.9.8;

- pop-up instruments menu (in notation editor, matrix editor) needs no
text -- just the icons from the toolbar above and it would be nice to
make it horizontal;

- a quantize dialog should be an easy accessible combo-box;

- just a legato in notation editor like in the matrix editor, because
currently two approaches in editing score are mixed up -- the one for
editing midi (the way it really sounds) and the one for editing
notation (the way it looks on screen), which makes confusing the
process of applying legato;

- no function to correct note overlapping by decreasing the first note
right till the beginning of the second note (for notation editor);

- an easy way to extend the duration of  a segment (may be drag a
handle in a ruler above like in Logic Audio).

May be we have missed some (or many) similar reports from William. So
tell me, which of those I should post to bugs/rfe page.
