This conversation kind of gives me the idea that while I try to write
tutorials that show what to do to achieve a particular solution, I don't
document all the dead end forks in the road along the way.

Maybe it would be instructive to take a real project and document not only
what works, but what doesn't along the way.  For instance, it's very easy to
use the heuristic or grid quantizer to clean something up in bar 43 only to
find later that bars 3-7 are completely destroyed in the process.  Sometimes
you don't notice this until 17 steps later, and have to start from scratch.

I suppose I've always wanted to avoid showing the ugly reality of the whole
process, to make Rosegarden look more magical.  It's not that magical at all,
in truth, but neither is anything else I've ever tried.

Another thing there, you could probably select it and cut-and-close to remove
that gap.  This kind of thing can be delicate, depending on where your notes
fall.  One minute you have something that looks fairly sensible, and the
next, you're swimming in a sea of bizarre tied dotted notes, because your
long notes cut across barlines now.
