Did you follow the tutorial that is in the archive? What step is it you
don't understand?
Here's a short review I wrote about Gigsaw:
The Gigsaw can be useful to replace a normal sequencer because it allows one
to work on a midi file using text only and thus the functions that are
available in a text editor, like e.g. the replace function. More logical
maybe.
Sometimes it's easier to use the names of rhythms instead of the notation or
midi pianoroll/matrix drum editor.
To use the Gigsaw, you need gvim (the vim-gnome package).
At least, to convert from Lilypond format to midi.
Arranging drums can also be done in a simple text editor using copy-paste.
Cheers
Peter
