[Rosegarden-devel] minor segment canvas issues

[Hans K. <han...@ho...>]

I'm happy to take a crack at these, just wanted to air them out to make sure 
I'm thinking straight.
Also, I've finally got everything working with ALSA and timidity on a 
terrible laptop- wonderful stuff you've accomplished, especially given the 
hardware.  there are brief hiccups (not skips, but occasional notes are 
faster or slower than they should be) but I'm blaming it on timidity+CPU for 
now.

and as always, mea culpa if any of these have been discussed to death 
already.

1) selecting a track selects the corresponding segment, but not vice versa.  
should it?
2) segment parameters don't update properly.  submitted a bug on this one.  
in progress.
3) is there any way (theoretically) to ask the sequencer/system/etc. what 
soundfonts are actually available and default to ones that create sound, 
i.e. choose gm grand piano if viola isn't available?  or do we just have to 
push events to the synth and hope something happens?
4) would it be a reasonable idea to provide default track settings for old 
RG files (where pan, etc. are missing) similar to those provided for new 
files?
5) the "deprecated feature found in rg file, please re-save" messages can 
get quite overwhelming.  see doodle-q.  I'm hunting for the best way to 
provide this info- do we really need to report every event?  (we do only 
report one messagebox, but the console gets all of them)
