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

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
Nice talk Richard, well done.
Pity I missed the announcement as I wasn't subscribed to the 'devel'

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
