Yes that is frustrating.

Rosegarden only guarantees backward compatibility - the new Rosegarden=20
should work with the old data format.

So there is no guarantee that a file from a new Rosegarden can be loaded=
=20
with an older version.

That said, I have attempted a small patch script to remove the offending=
=20
entry in the newer file format. Not sure it will always work but you can=
=20
give it a shot. You will need ruby with nokogiri installed.
