Well, I am packaging the old version. Its latest upstream patch-level
is not that old (September'99), but I think it is just bug fixes.

The new version (3.0) is being written from scratch, and is still in
very early development, (it has been like that for some years). From
the Readme:

    "This is the development tree for Rosegarden 3.0.

     You will not find any working applications here.  This is all early
     development code; it should build, but won't build into anything
     useful.  Explore at your own risk."

I know there are others being developed, but I have not tried them
yet. None of them is in debian:

Brahms: 
  http://lienhard.desy.de/mackag/homepages/jan/Brahms/
  It is GPL, and looks really nice, but uses Qt :(  

NoteEdit:
  http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~ja/noteedit/noteedit.html
  Seems smaller. Also Qt.

I have not found any other free graphical MIDI notator for
linux. Maybe we will have to wait for rosegarden 3.0...

   Enrique.
