A few years later, I wrote another song. There isn't much to say, except that the song is lincensed under the CC-BY-SA, so you're free to use it as you please. I'm including the Rosegarden file, the mp3 export using freepats with timidity, and a pdf export of the sheet music by lilypond.
Making Of
The tools I used were Rosegarden, Jack, Timidity, Freepats and Audacity. To do it I started jack, then I started timidity with "-iA -Oj" as arguments to tell it to register as an alsa midi device and to have its output connected to jack. After that I started Rosegarden, the default conections happen in a pretty straight-forward way. The timidity part is needed because my sound controller, as most notebook controllers, don't have a midi sequencer.
First I recorded an audio track with the melody, singing it, then I started the first midi track by putting that melodie into the note editor of rosegarden, fixing the tempo in the process. After that, I wrote the second midi track, which is the bass.
When that was over, I took the timidity output in jack and connected it back as a rosegarden input, so I could record an audio track with the timidity's output. Then I openned that segment in Audacity and exported as mp3.
