(that was really a waste of time...) Thanks! I use the default version in the Ubuntu repo.... I thought Ubuntu was one of the most up to date distro...!? Other related question... I thought to be smart and use the soundfonts of finale 2007 with qsynth. But will work, with the *.sf2 extension, but the ones with the *.sfx extention doesn't work.... Is there a way to work with this kind of file on linux??
