The Rosegarden team is proud to announce the release of version 13.06 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux.

The biggest highlight of 13.06 is that Ted Felix has reduced CPU usage by almost 50% when recording MIDI. Rosegarden has been plagued with MIDI recording problems for most of its history, and this improvement is huge. Most everything else in this release contributes to stabilization, and we encourage all users to give this improved version a try.

• Fix disappearing ties in notation editor
• Program changes are now sent on channels for tracks that are armed when going into record. (Bug #1356 “Wrong instrument when recording on multiple tracks/​channels”, r13248.)
• CPU usage reduced by almost 50% when recording MIDI. (Bug #1350 “Can't Record Beethoven”, r13261)
• The range editing commands no longer mess up markers
• Fixed an internal leak in the channel allocator
• Fixed a crash on paste bug, while revealing other related problems that remain to be fixed
• Fixed latency compensation in subgroups through a mysterious mechanism that seems to work (Bug #1358 “Latency Compensation Bug in Subgroups”, r13264)
• Fixed a subtle bug involving the drawing of track dividers and vertical scrolling. (r13292)
• Changing note durations works correctly across barlines. So does adding dots to notes.
• Menu items have a somewhat more consistent style.
• Certain crashes related to Paste commands shouldn't happen any more.
• The tempo dialog now defaults more sensibly to replacing the most recent tempo.
• Now when you change staffs in the notation editor (with Next Staff Down, etc) Rosegarden chooses the next staff more sensibly.
• When you open multiple segments in the notation editor, Rosegarden chooses a starting staff more sensibly.
• Range commands such as edit → Cut Range now don't split segments. Previously only Insert Range kept segments intact.
• Range commands also try to keep linked segments linked together when possible.

• Additional work and improvements on the pitchbend sequence dialog
