Hi, all! I was looking for a really good notation and compositioning tool for a while, but most of the ones I tested were crap :D Rosegarden really looks good, but before getting it, I'd like to know, if it's possible to print from the notation editor (yes on paper...:) Beefy. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

The situation's not as good as we'd like it to be yet. There is a Print function on the File menu, but it doesn't work well=20 enough to be any use for anything yet. It should get sorted out=20 before too long, as it's quite an important feature, although the=20 quality will probably never be truly fantastic. Alternatively, you can export Lilypond files and run them through=20 Lilypond (for example Lilypond includes an ly2pdf script that will=20 simply turn the .ly file that Rosegarden generates into a printable=20 pdf). This should produce readable output straightforwardly, or=20 excellent output if you really want it and are prepared to learn=20 enough about Lilypond to edit the Lilypond file after generation. It isn't yet possible to invoke a single Rosegarden menu command to=20 run Lilypond and print the results, although there's an open feature=20 request asking for this to be added and there's a reasonable chance=20 it will be.
