SYNOPSIS

       rosegarden [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [File]

       capture_1 capture_2]

DESCRIPTION

       This    manual    page    documents    briefly   the   rosegarden   and
       rosegardensequencer commands.

       rosegarden is a MIDI and audio sequencer, notation editor, and general-
       purpose  music  composition and editing application for Unix and Linux.
       It is a KDE application, which means to build it you need the  KDE  3.x
       libraries.  However,  once  installed  it  can  be  run  within the KDE
       environment or any other desktop or window manager environment.

       rosegardensequencer is part of the  rosegarden  application,  the  part
       which  knows  about  and  audio  MIDI  devices,  and  about  real time.
       rosegardensequencer is executed automatically when  rosegarden  starts,
       so you will probably never need to execute it directly. You may want to
       specify command line options, though, to change the JACK ports used for
       audio  capture  and  playback.  In  order  to  do that, you can invoque
       rosegardensequencer directly before  running  rosegarden,  or  you  can
       specify  the  sequencer  command  line  arguments  using the rosegarden
       configuration dialog, and  restarting  the  application.  This  program
       follows  the  usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting
       with two dashes (’-’). A summary of options is included below.
