Rosegarden
Rosegarden is a
professional audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor, and
general-purpose music composition and editing environment. It
combines a track-oriented audio/MIDI sequencer with a
standard music notation editor to provide an "all-in-one"
solution.
Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application, ideal
for
composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home
recording environments.
It is designed to look and act in a manner familiar
to experienced users coming to Linux from other platforms,
whilst also being accessible and friendly to users new to
music software generally.
