It isn't that hearing the notes is really that important, but I thought it was something I should be able to do. I'm now thinking about whether my toy MIDI drum kit would do it, but the problem is that the computer doesn't have a sound card. Of course there are old sound cards from former computers lying around, but I really thought the USB stuff plus jack would do this. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke and Bacon were only young men in libraries when they wrote these books.

I do have it installed, and sort of working, but I'm finding it very clumsy; certainly much harder to use for this purpose than entering the notes into an emacs buffer. For one thing, I can simultaneously type in markup that Rosegarden probably doesn't know how to do, like specifying some accidentals as ficta. I played with it a little recently and was able to record some midi events and get a PDF of what lilypond and rosegarden jointly interpreted them to mean, but was unable to find where rosegarden put the .ly file. But because of the previous paragraph, this is unlikely to be the right answer to this question, although I'm sure there are questions to which it's a very good answer.
