Well here you have people on Linux being able to view and PLAY and EDIT the 
music just by installing Rosegarden.

I'm afraid this is pointless because :

- the idea of a "player" plugin makes sense in the case of Sibelius only 
because it's proprietary and expensive. In our case you may just as well use 
the real thing.

- to have a RG player (regardless of the fact that it would be a plugin) on 
Windows or Mac would first require to port a very large part of RG on both of 
these platforms. That's way beyond what we can envision at the moment. (and 
actually, I think that trying to limit the port to "just the needed bits" 
would be more complicated that porting the whole thing).
