I used the notation editor to make sheet music for a number of songs and
hymns for our (now-defunct) church's band. I don't know how useful it
was to people, but it was generally much more readable than the sheets
(lines of lyric text, handwritten guitar chords, hand drawn stairsteppy
diagrams he used instead of staves!) the worship leader supplied!
Now I use it just for my own music. I'm not involved in our current
church's band.

Thank you Richard and all of the other devs that have made Rosegarden.
I've been lurking on this list for many (mid-90s?) years. Learning the history
with this video was great fun.
Although I play a little guitar, I'm not much of a musician and have never used
Rosegarden for MIDI to connect with a real synth. My primary use of Rosegarden
is the notation editor. While in a choir for many years, I used the notation
editor to enter my tenor parts from sheet music as an aid to learning the parts
by listening and singing along. Often, I would do all four parts and generate
CD's with the audio for the other members of the choir.
Not only did the notation editor help me in the choir, using it actually taught
me many of the rules for music notation just by using it.
Rosegarden is a really great application and fits well with my FOSS and Linux
sensibilities.
Thank you all again,
mike

Thanks Ted!
The talk didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped (big auditorium and I got vertigo
at one stage) but hopefully, some of it makes sense. I really enjoyed putting
it together and one guy did say he might get involved afterwards, so who knows?
;) I'm still quite keen to add some more tests and work on improving CI quality
generally but it all depends on many things - not least finding some spare time.
