I'm not looking at Rosegarden just at the moment, but that sounds right. The emerging pink segment overlaps anything in its "lane" as it rolls out, and upon ending the recording, a new "lane" is created. Historically, segments used to overlap on the track, leading to all kinds of situations where a big segment covered a small one, and accessing exactly the segment you wanted was tricky bordering on impossible. As Rosegarden evolved, it became more and more apparent that the most realistic way to handle overlapping voices in music notation was to use overlapping segments on the same track for this purpose. In order for that to be usable, there needed to be some way to manage this efficiently and logically. Chris Cannam conceived and implemented the expanding height tracks feature relatively recently in our history, then we worked the kinks out of it over the next several iterations. It was a really big deal at the time, but I no longer remember exactly when it came about. It might or might not date back to the KDE version. -- D.
