.TH ROSEGARDEN 1 "23 July 2006"

.SH NAME

rosegarden, rosegarden-sequencer - MIDI and audio sequencer and
musical notation editor.

.SH SYNOPSIS

rosegarden [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [File]

rosegardensequencer [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [playback_1 playback_2 capture_1 capture_2]

.SH DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the rosegarden and rosegardensequencer commands.

rosegarden is a MIDI and audio sequencer, notation editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing application for Unix and Linux. It is a KDE application, which means to build it you need the KDE 3.x libraries. However, once installed it can be run within the KDE environment or any other desktop or window manager environment.

rosegardensequencer is part of the rosegarden application, the part which knows about and audio MIDI devices, and about real time. rosegardensequencer is executed automatically when rosegarden starts, so you will probably never need to execute it directly. You may want to specify command line options, though, to change the JACK ports used for audio capture and playback. In order to do that, you can invoque rosegardensequencer directly before running rosegarden, or you can specify the sequencer command line arguments using the rosegarden configuration dialog, and restarting the application. This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-'). A summary of options is included below.
