I always use the matrix for percussion, and now that I'm thinking about it, this really seems like the only reasonable choice Rosegarden offers. The problem you're running into is the same thing you encounter notating something like a guitar part with sustained bass notes mixed with arpeggios. You can't do that, or any other scenario involving polyphony on the same staff, in one segment and have Rosegarden make anything sensible out of it. You have to use one segment for the bass notes, and another for the remaining notes. The segments can be overlapping on the same track to get them on the same staff, but they must remain completely separate from each other, and it can all be a rather big pain to manage. Considering percussion is nothing but a solid wall of polyphony on the same staff, trying to juggle all that in the notation editor would be pure misery, and I wouldn't recommend bothering. -- D.
