Thanks, will do.
While waiting for reply, I found this
http://tedfelix.com/linux/linux-midi.html and tried the script it
suggested, which seems to have allowed rosegarden to record... but
pressing the play button resulted in silence. I could see the notes on
the screen, but couldn't hear anything from my speakers.
While all this might seem easy to people who are experienced with the
linux sound subsystem, I do hope that someday we will have something
that works "out of the box" for audio creation, without editing
configuration files, opening 5 apps just to get the servers in place,
and so forth.

These days there shouldn't be too much manual config required to get you started.
I would make sure you do:
sudo yum install jack-audio-connection-kit* a2jmidid qjackctl
Add your user to jackuser and audio groups log out and log back in - the jack RPM should set the priorities and memlocking values for those groups.
Add a2jmidid -e & in "Execute script after start up" in qjackctl (to enable your MIDI devices in both Jack MIDI and ALSA MIDI apps) and follow the rest of the instructions to select the correct hardware in the link I posted and start jack.
Then its just a matter of firing up your jack enabled app (like rosegarden) and you should be good to go.
Jump on #fedora-audio or #opensourcemusicians if you get stuck and maybe someone will be around to help.
