We want to have the dedicated tools to be able to rapidly edit our final midi by adding program changes, volume and velocity changes from the keyboard. Our whole navigation now is centered around the keyboard (mouse is still the same). It is about speed. It is not that notation editor is not valuable for a lot of people but it just has no part in this step of the process for our work flow.
If you however see it differently then you have rosegarden :) >> > > I don't think that's what the OO guys are after, although I'll let > them speak for themselves. > > My usual workflow goes like this: > > 1) I notate the music using a notation editor. > > 2) Depending on the complexity of the part and how expressive do I > need it to be I do one of these: > > 2a) I perform it live and record it to a "stick" sequencer for some > tweaking, or > > 2b) From the notation editor I export a MIDI version to a "stick" > sequencer and edit it heavily, possibly using several tracks for a > single part and including heavy quantization and tempo changes that > would result in a completely unreadable score view. > > In the context of music of which I want to make an elaborate sampler > rendition I don't really have any use for synchronized score/stick > versions of a track.

I just assume leave them as seperate steps all together. That said around my house my wife just plays straight in by ear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
