Quoth James Cameron at 2008-11-12 18:58... > Ugh. I'd use a prebuilt, rather than waste three months. That wasn't three solid months of trying, that's just how long I've been on the project. Gentoo ebuilds - especially for x86_64 systems - don't always have the quality of binary builds on binary distributions. Hence my problems. > I'm an occasional user of Rosegarden.

None of these are really too important, although the matrix editing would be handy. But I can overcome that by using Hydrogen - I have no issues with using more than one bit of software at a time. After all, I used to do this with LOTS of hardware.
