What is Rosegarden?
Rosegarden is a well-rounded audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor, and general-purpose music composition and editing environment.
Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments.
Rosegarden 10.02, codename "Thorn" enters beta! We have come quite a long way since the first alpha release in November, and have finally restored all but the most trivial of missing features. We have fixed the most catastrophic bugs we know about, and Rosegarden no longer carries the strong "use at your own risk" warnings. You will almost certainly experience crashes, bugs, and usability problems, but it is worth giving the new Rosegarden a try in order to maximize the chances that the final release in February will be stable enough to endure while we take on some major projects we have been postponing until just after this initial release of the new code.
The new Rosegarden is part port, part rewrite, and it has taken us nearly two years to reach this point. The marathon is nearly over!
