No, certainly you are right. So far my knowledge did not reach. Well, I 
followed your instruction and made a reboot. And now the timidity daemon 
was not there, at least according to the command "ps -ef | grep 
timidity". Before the reboot it was. But the only result of this was 
that none of my programmes delivered any sound, not Frescobaldi and not 
Firefox. So what was the advantage? Is there no possibility to coexist 
with Timidity (and Jack)? Before my latest upgrade, I now use version 61 
of Firefox, they worked fine together, at least from my point of view. I 
had sound in Firefox as well as Frescobaldi and Denemo (and Ardour). So 
from with my horizon all has been a deterioration, even if I of course 
does not realize all the difficulties you developers are meeting. On the 
other hand, Timidity is a so much appreciated software, that it should 
be a good thing learning to live together with it. A dialogue with the 
Timidity guys perhaps? Regarding Ardour and the other music software I 
can suspect it is not equally big, but we who use them will still 
continue to do so, and not lose them.

Well Frescobaldi is working fine with Jack. Denemo seems to have its own 
method for producing sound, and is working fine also without Timidity. 
Regarding Ardour I do not know yet, I have not had the time to test.
