greetings First and foremost as I have just read (this time the full) 'authors' and story page and can only say THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU to the Rosegarden team; I mean the strife, the endless hours through lonely nights mostly between day jobs, the thanklessness, you name it. My attitude has always been humble and grateful but it just got upgraded quite a bit. I've only done very rudimentary Perl programming a long long time ago but I can imagine. So that's the first ethical issue, my 2 cents says that that page should be the "I have read it all" checkbox-page leading to a download.
I have used Rosegarden to produce (read hack and cannibalize) about 4 songs on guitar which I took up as a way to head off brain-rot with my advancing age. I have about 500 lifetime fav songs of which maybe 40 are guitar candidates. With the help of Rosegarden I have already done most of the 40 backing tracks with temporary stand-in digital leads of one sort or another. But given the past completion-rate I will likely run out of time to do all the remaining 36, I figure if I get to a total of 10 I should be lucky. The guitar 'covers' I think pose no ethical issues, here's the last one that took me a year just like the one before it: https://tinyurl.com/y4cyeb6x But what about the rest of them which are provisionally entirely digital 'covers'? Does that concept exist at all? Can I load them up on the tube as digital covers pending some future guitar overlay? Doing music is as much work as coding and I wouldn't wanna screw any copyright musician out of deserved dues. I have learned *a LOT* just from tinkering around with Rosegarden, this digital jobbie for instance has some twists in the bass handling (don't know if anyone will catch it) and I think it's a splashy sounding nice rework of the french original so I'd like to share it but without stepping on toes: https://tinyurl.com/yxocsu4e https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxocsu4e Tnaks in advance for all pro/con ideas _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
