It also contains a selection of utility and helper classes of a kind that is not specific to any particular GUI. Everything here is part of the Rosegarden namespace, and there are no dependencies on KDE or Qt (although it uses the STL heavily). text/html 2026-11-06T20:12:12+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/first_impressions_and_how_to_improve_them?rev=1793995932&do=diff How does Rosegarden appear when first installed and run on a new Linux distribution? I've been so used to fixing problems “in the distribution” with Studio to Go that I no longer really remember what the normal first time user experience on a non-audio-focused distribution is like.
