John and Rajko,

You guys are super.  Thanks much.  I downloaded the
rosegarden-2.1pl4-175.src.rpm and it verified and compiled without a
hitch.  (BTW, this was done on a Suse Pro 9.3 system.)

Like Rajko guessed, I don't have any midi hardware (yet), just a
standard audio card with headphone and microphone plugs, so am pretty
sure I need to use an external player.  I downloaded a midi file and it
played through timidity.  I wasn't able to hear actual instruments;
instead just simple tones, like it was played on a cheap toy piano.

Trying to play the same tune through rosegarden gave me nothing at all.
  Total silence.  So how do I configure rosegarden to output to
timidity?  I found the Midi Setup window.  It has these items:

Device: /dev/sequencer
Record Device: Midi Through Port-0
Event Buffer Size: 10000
No Score Tracking

I'm a complete noob to midi and, of course, rosegarden, so don't know
how or what to set what to what to get rosegarden to play something I
can hear.

Any ideas?


tia,
ken
