Would it be possible for Rosegarden to have an "auto-expand" option for 
an existing segment, particularly when recording at the end of an 
existing track or segment? Or does it already do that?

Another option might be a right-click on the last measure of a segment 
with an option to either expand the segment (enter the number of 
measures you want to add), or an option to add a single measure?

Just wondering. I usually work in the notation editor, where such an 
option would be convenient. As it is, switching to the track view and 
lengthening the track works, although I make a habit of closing the 
notation editor window before doing that, then reopening the editor 
after lengthening the track.

I don't know if this could re-use the copy-paste functionality that 
tells Rosegarden to open up space for the pasted notes by moving 
following notes further down. I think that automatically expands the 
segment, yes?
