| Rosegarden can optionally stretch or squash each triggered segment to match the duration of the note that triggers it, and can raise or lower the pitch and velocity of the segment likewise to match. A triggered segment is played on the same instrument as its triggering event. | Rosegarden can optionally stretch or squash each triggered segment to match the duration of the note that triggers it, and can raise or lower the pitch and velocity of the segment likewise to match.

| You manage triggered segments through a window available via the Segments → Manage Triggered Segments option in the main segment canvas. To make a new triggered segment, copy a segment or part of a segment to Rosegarden's clipboard, then use the Edit → Paste as New Triggered Segment menu option in this manager window. You can then set a particular note to play this triggered segment instead of the original note, using Adjust → Trigger Segment... in the matrix or Note → Ornaments → Trigger Ornament... in the notation editor. | You manage triggered segments through a window available via the Segments → Manage Triggered Segments option in the main segment canvas.
