Solfege use this info in some exercises where the user is supposed to sing.
These spin buttons tell Solfege the highest and lowest tone the user can sing. These values will is only considered advisory by the program. If for example the values are set to c to c' and you have configured the program to ask you to sing small and large decims, you will have to sing tones outside this range.
There are three ways to play sound:
Use this for
or when you are porting Solfege. No sounds are played, the midi events are printed to stdout.The best choice here is usually /dev/music because it has the best support for percussion instruments.
/dev/sequencer2 is usually a symbolic link to /dev/music.
If your system don't have /dev/music, you can create it with this command as root (if you run the linux kernel version 2.2 or later):
cd /dev mknod music u 14 8
This can be useful when porting to systems that don't use OSS, or if you have a bad midi synth on your soundcard and want to use timidity.
