FILES

/etc/solfege
    if solfege is installed into /usr, or {prefix}/etc/solfege in all other cases. System administrators can override the values in the default.config file. The most obvious values you might want to change is the sound setup.

~/.solfegerc
    This file is used to store most configuration values. While it is possible to edit the file by hand, everything you need can and should be done from the gui.

~/.solfege
    Statistics is stored in subdirectories below this dir.

NOTES
If you don't have /dev/music it is possible that your kernel supports it. Try to create the device file yourself (as root):

          # cd /dev
          # mknod music u 14 8
