Yes, NoteEdit might be more the sort of thing you need at this
point.  Even though the image linked above doesn't include half
of the notation you want, it's still closer than you can do in
Rosegarden right now, because Rosegarden won't currently allow
you to mark a note explicitly as flat when it's already marked
as flat in the key signature (unless of course the same pitch
has a different accidental somewhere earlier in the bar).

This just reflects the rather different focus of the two
applications -- Rosegarden is principally a compositional tool
(it likes to have a fairly unambiguous idea of what pitches you
intend), and NoteEdit more a pure notation tool (it will permit
you to enter things like the above without having to be clear
about how they're actually interpreted).  Rosegarden will one
day get the ability to do all of these things, but NoteEdit will
inevitably get them sooner, partly because it doesn't have to
care as much about all the performance baggage.
