Re: Low timer resolution (but it shouldn't be!)

Hello!

So... It was already set to "auto". Then, I changed to "system timer", 
restarted Rosegarden, and now it shows the timer as "OK" (Thanks for 
pointing me to the right place in the config). So perhaps the "auto" 
setting is not working as expected?
