Yeah, after I sent that email I thought about the fact that MusE probably starts the synths in-process and I can see drawbacks to that approach in certain situations. I do like the fact that RG handles evrerything as generic MIDI. The thing I don't like about it is that it forces me to do extra work outside of Rosegarden to get things going.
