I'm afraid this is just the fundamental nature of Rosegarden. Something like this would be easy to do with a notation-driven engine that interpreted symbols into MIDI at playback time, but Rosegarden is a hybrid notation editor and MIDI/audio sequencer. The way to solve this is to create time for the extra long note, using invisible time signatures. (This would be another great mini-tutorial demo if only I had time to write this with little pictures.) 1: Create a segment three bars long in 4/4 time 2: Fill all the beats in the first bar 3: Fill 7/8 of the beats in the second bar 4: Sitting in the second bar, insert a time signature change (Composition menu) to 9/8. Have it start at the beginning of this bar, and make it invisible 5: Enter the quarter note spanning beats 8-9 in bar 2. Place fermata. 6: Sitting in the third bar, insert an invisible time signature change back to 4/4 7: Go out to segment canvas and drag the tail of the segment out to complete bar 3. That's the theory anyway. In practice, I observe that this doesn't export to LilyPond correctly. (Bug filed.) > Also, it doesn't seem to want to wrap the lines.

I've opened bwv-1060-trumpet-duet-excerpt.rg from the example files. I've selected all the segments, and opened a combined notation view. I've tried all three layout modes, and they all work as expected. With the caveat that the annotations look like crap in anything but the Linear Layout mode. -- D. Michael McIntyre
