That's possible indeed, although my little tour through the revision history 
didn't really reveal anything suspicious.  Oh well.

It seems most people just use Ardour for audio, and those features have never 
been all that popular.  I used to use our audio a fair bit myself, back when I 
composed music, but the last time I did was early 2008 or so.  I don't think 
I've actually completed a real creative project with the new Rosegarden even 
once.

Then there's the matter that the project packager is a total rewrite from 
scratch, based more on reverse engineering existing .rgp files than on 
deciphering the original script, which was a bash script wrapped around a Perl 
script that depended on a number of external utilities from KDE.  It was a big 
mess.

I did what I could to make sure everything was working, but it's entirely 
possible that I simply overlooked or failed to test something.

It's good that somebody is using it.  I spent a great deal of time on that 
rewrite, and it makes me happy to see somebody do something with it.
