I think the support page said that there was only partial linux support for
video, so maybe that's where the linux restrictions lie.

If "Bath University" == "University of Bath" then you might be thinking
of CSound which is very much thriving.

If "Bath University" == "Bath (Spa) University" then possibly, I
couldn't comment.

I think of myself as a serious amateur in computer music, writing open
source music software, composer and occasional performer. My studio
is totally Linux (OpenSuSE13.1) but I support users on many
platforms. As I was once paid for a piece in a concert on Koln I
might count as semi-pro(?)

Not sure I have much to add though; I do not do plugins or jack or
ardour as they do not seem necessary to my sounds. Also I am Bath
based.

It seems someone on this list might be quite familiar with both Csound and
Rosegarden:

http://csound.github.io/docs/manual/Introduction.html
"Around 1991, John ffitch ported Csound to Microsoft DOS"
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/authors/
"...under the tutelage of John ffitch, of Csound fame."

(Sorry if I 'outed' you there John)

Hello BBLug,

I think the rosegarden developer you are talking about lived near radstock
but may have moved.

I don't think he was on this list.

Cheers

Rosegarden was originally a final year project at University of Bath
School of Mathematical Sciences, written by Chris Cannam and Andy
Green, supervised by John ffitch. Chris has since re-written it all
with others. He is now at Queen Mary University of London, CS
department as an audio researcher -- check his system, they rock.

I still use (sometimes) the original Rosegarden to go from traditional
notation to Csound.
