Development

A place to gather miscellaneous development notes.

• See also: HOWTO contribute
• See also: A getting started page for new project members
• See also: Future Plans
• See also: Doxygen code documentation
• See also: Eclipse/CDT with Rosegarden
• See also: UnitTesting

These are short explanations that have come up on the Rosegarden developers' mailing list at one time or another, sometimes with a bit more detail added in the wiki.

See also the rosegarden-devel archives.

• Manipulating the document

• Loading the Studio or other partial documents from XML
• Keeping GUI elements updated

• Instruments and Devices

• Making strings translatable

There are several plain-text documents found in the Rosegarden source code repository (browse).

These ones are either vaguely interesting, or at least not hopelessly out of date:

NOTE I didn't realize this page simply linked to SVN. These documents are no longer available. We should just move them into the wiki and update them as we go, but I am not going to finish that anytime soon. The documents that have not yet been rescued can be found in http://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rosegarden/branches/obsolete/docs/

• Coding Style
• Overall code structure
• Creating Events and their properties
• Pitch and time units for Events
• Iterating over Events in segments and compositions

• Triplet/tuplet event storage properties
• Notation event grouping terminology
• Notation layout procedure

• Recording from multiple MIDI ports (but not onto multiple tracks simultaneously - this document predates that work)
