If you have ever tried to make an orchestral score sound minimally realistic using a sampler you'll understand why. Advanced sampler control takes lots of midi trickery: complex midi routing, multiple tracks for a single staff, overlays, irregular quantization, key switching, CC messages galore... A software that tries to keep both views of a track in synch would be extremely complex and not really necessary. Given very limited development resources it is much more sensible to "compile" the output of a score-only program into a complex midi track that can then be tweaked in a midi-only sequencer. What the oo guys are doing makes perfect sense, although the moment they chose to strip down RG is perhaps not the most fortunate (migration to Qt4,) but what can you do?
