I have used Rosegarden on a Pi3. It worked about as much as any desktop app can be said to work on one of those things. Didn't make it crash more than anything else. As near as I can make out, once a Pi runs out of RAM it just reboots and that happens pretty often using Raspbian.
PIs are basically pretty useless though. The price point is a bit of a hoax. By the time you gear them up with a case, a screen and such they cost as much as a low end laptop while offering a fraction of the performance and stability. If you want something small and quiet for rosegarden etc, try looking into a micro PC like a Gigabyte brix. They've got a real computer inside. I've had a Pi for a couple years now and while I have found it technically capable of performing a variety of tasks, I have yet to find any application for which it is the right tool. So I don't use it for anything at all. A solution in search of a problem. And of course they're offensively black boxed as you would expect from the bastard child of a bunch of Broadcom engineers. Those things are not open source friendly in any way. Imho, Pis are a waste of time and money but Rosegarden doesn't present any special problems as far as they are concerned. I've heard some people like them more than I do.
