I have a couple of questions. I have installed the version from the debian repository, which I believe is 1.2. It worked fine with the simple example files, but when I tried a file that I found in these forums with an acoustic guitar track (I think this thread was in January of 2009), I started getting some errors (articulation had to be 1..100, and it was 105; key signature had to be defined as # of sharps / flats, rather than, for example Bb, and other errors).
Yes, you have a VERY old version. Sorry, I'm not responsible for the debian repositories.
Am I correct in assuming that these errors are a result of me using an outdated version? Also, am I correct in assuming that the debian repository is not being / will not be kept up to date?
I have asked for the 0.12 version in the repository to be deleted. No success. I've also offered to update to a current version ... no response.
Honestly, I don't know what to do with this. From what I can figure one needs to be a member of the "club" to gain access ... and to do this one needs to be "sponsored" and "mentored", or a project needs an existing "member" to adopt the project. I'm way too busy to play games with the debian folk, and to be perfectly honest ... I don't really care if MMA is in debian or not. If someone wants to adopt MMA and update the repositories I'll help out where I can. In the meantime, there is a .deb (and tar and rpm) on my site which appear to work well AND which I keep up-to-date and current.
I'm not trying to be negative on the debian folk or their policies. And, no I'm not pissed 'cause I'm not a member
And, if you do have questions about MMA, feel free to post them here to to contact me directly.
Have fun making music!
