Have her look at this page. http://www.musicbyandrew.ca/finale-lilypond-1.html Which is by someone who uses finale and tried lilypond. > >> > >> Regards, > >> > >> Dirk Dirk, I have had problems as I have an on-board soundcard and "another" (which is too embarrassingly old to mention on this venerable list) and I had to tell jack specifically to use hw:1 not the onboard card. Do you have an extra sound-card confusing things? Has anyone asked you to try this command? lsmod | grep snd If you send the result to this list, someone might be able to help you. But I can tell you that it *is* possible to have jackd, timidity (using jack output) qsynth and rosegarden running together as I've done it on my box which runs ubuntu. Shelagh PS my /etc/modules file does not have snd-seq-midi listed.
