+Rosegarden for Debian
+----------------------
+
+ More recent developments
+ ------------------------
+
+This package provides the latest release of Rosegarden at the time of
+building the package, which might be and old version if you are using
+Debian Stable. Check for recent developments in the Rosegarden web
+page:
+
+ http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
+
+and in the CVS repository at the Rosegarden project page:
+
+ http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rosegarden
+
+
+ Audio and MIDI support
+ ----------------------
+
+The Rosegarden Debian package is compiled with ALSA support for MIDI
+input and output, and Jack support for audio, which is the preferred
+configuration for the authors. This means that aRTs MIDI support is
+not available.
+
+If you want to use audio output, you will need to have jackd running
+while you run Rosegarden. You can configure Rosegarden to
+automatically start jackd in the "sequencer" section of the
+Rosegarden configuration dialog.
+
+
+ Examples
+ --------
+
+You can find some Rosegarden example files in this directory:
+
+/usr/share/apps/rosegarden/examples
+
+And some additional test files can be found under:
+
+/usr/share/doc/rosegarden/testfiles
+
+
+ Real Time issues
+ ----------------
+
+If you are using audio input/output, Rosegarden may generate
+occasional error message windows saying that the JACK Audio subsystem
+is losing sample frames.
+
+To fix this, you will need to improve the low-latency performance of
+your system. You may need to adjust the configuration of jackd, and
+maybe the Linux kernel configuration. Documentation on these issues
+can be found in the jackd Debian package:
+
+/usr/share/doc/jackd/user-howto.gz
+/usr/share/doc/jackd/README.Debian
+
+and in the JACK FAQ:
+
+http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php
+
+
+ System Timer Resolution
+ ----------------------
+
+ Please refer to http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/faq/#toc31
+
+ The best solution is to recompile your kernel with the HZ set to
+ 1000. Here's is the config on my system:
+
+$ grep HZ /boot/config-$(uname -r)
+# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
+# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
+# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
+CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
+CONFIG_HZ=1000
+
+ Unfortunately the details of kernel recompilation is beyond the
+ scope of this document. I'd suggest installing the kernel-package
+ package and reading the docs in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package
+
+
+
+ Rosegarden Mailing Lists
+ -------------------------
+
+You can subscribe to the Rosegarden users and developers mailing
+lists, or browse the list archives at:
+
+ http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/support/lists/
+
+Or directly at:
+
+ http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
+
+ http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
+
+
+ Source Code Documentation
+ -------------------------
+
+If you want to download the source package and have a look around the
+code, you may want to generate the Doxygen documentation. Install
+Doxygen, edit the Doxyfile in the Rosegarden source top-level
+directory, change the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to a proper value, and run
+"doxygen Doxyfile".
+
+
+Enjoy!
