Hello!

From a recovered hard drive, I have a number of very old (circa 2000) text files that are apparently saved Rosegarden sessions. They look something like...

#!Rosegarden

#  Musical Notation File

Staves 3

        Crotchet 90

        : Semiquaver 0 1 8 0
        : Semiquaver 0 1 8 1
        End

etc...

I tried importing them into a current version of Rosegarden and I get errors (such as "Unable to obtain list of files using tar" - I suppose it's looking for a project here) or it loads but nothing appears.

Any ideas on how to recover these? Thank you in advace!

Bob
