+====================================================================
+ MusE --- Linux Music Editor
+====================================================================
+
+Welcome to MusE, the open source MIDI/Audio sequencer.
+
+MusE is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
+Please check out the file COPYING in this directory for more
+details.
+
+,-----------------------------------------------------------------.
+| NOTICE |
+|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Some parts of MusE code are EXPERIMENTAL, and may well result |
+| in a CRASH, and who knows what other ill effects. |
+| RUN THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. |
+`-----------------------------------------------------------------'
+
+ =============================
+ Requirements
+ =============================
+
+ - CMake 2.4
+ http:/www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html
+
+ - QT: Qt 4.2.0 or above
+ ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source
+ MusE does _not_ compile with older versions
+
+ - gcc 4.x.x
+
+ - libsndfile >= 1.0.1
+ http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
+
+ - libsamplerate
+
+ - JACK >= 0.103
+ http://jackit.sourceforge.net/download/
+
+ Optional:
+
+ - fluidsynth-1.0.3 (formerly known as iiwusynth) from
+ http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/fluid
+
+ - DSSI
+
+ - ConTeXt (for building documentation, by default the build
+ script tries to build documentation, can be
+ disabled by setting ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION to OFF)
+
+ =============================
+ Compiling:
+ =============================
+
+ - download source from http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/
+
+ - unpack source:
+ tar xvofz muse-xyz.tar.gz </code>
+
+ - to compile MusE, run the following commands:
+ mkdir muse # create build directory
+ cd muse # enter build directory
+ cmake ../muse-xyz # create make system
+ make # compile muse
+
+ - install MusE:
+ run "make install"
+
+ =============================
+ running MusE
+ =============================
+
+ MusE is a realtime program which requires special rights to
+ work poperly.
+ Recommended setup:
+
+ - check if you are running a sufficiently new linux kernel > 2.6.x
+
+ - create an "audio" group if it does not already exists
+ and put yourself into this group
+
+ - make sure you can acces the realtime clock (RTC)
+ chmod 660 /dev/rtc
+ chgrp audio /dev/rtc
+
+ - make sure MusE can set the rtc clock:
+ echo 8192 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
+ inspect with:
+ cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
+
+ - for MusE to gain RT priviledges load the "realtime-lsm"
+ modul; the modul should be configured to give all "audio"
+ group members realtime priviledges
+
+ - make sure the alsa sequencer modul is loaded:
+ /sbin/modprobe snd-seq
+ (same distros (ubuntu) do not load it by default :-( )
+
+ - start qjackctl
+ - start JACK with qjackctl
+
+ - start MusE
+
+ (JACK and all its clients (qjackctl & MusE) must run with the
+ same user id)
+
+
+ =============================
+ known bugs
+ =============================
+
+ - many
+
+====================================================================
+Let me know whether MusE works for you !!!
+Have a look at the webpage http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/ for details.
