For an example of how someone put them to good use, look at Steve Conrad's 
bogus-surf-jam.  I was going to look at it myself until I remembered I don't 
have a runable Rosegarden currently.  Oops.

I think having them as tooltips would make it a lot less intuitive stringing 
little bits of stuff together like that.  You'd have a lot of anonymous, 
generic segments, perhaps color coded in some fashion, and you'd have to 
hover over each one to see what it is.

For my own use, I used to use markers to indicate the sorts of things I now 
indicate with segment labels.  Our marker facility kind of sucks.  Our label 
facility (judging as someone who has been running 1.0 exclusively for the 
last couple of weeks) is easy to use, and convenient.  I think it's just 
fine.  The only thing that's kind of dumb is the (copied)(split)(split)
(copied)(split) nonsense tacked on the end, but I guess even that is better 
than the alternative of giving the copies some name like "foodiddle1" 
"foodiddle2" etc.
