Rosegarden-4 has a pretty quick loop facility.  To set a loop in the

main window, make sure the rulers are visible (Settings | Show Rulers)

and then shift-click and drag the region you want to loop on the ruler

at the top or bottom of the main canvas.  You can toggle this loop

using the loop button on the transport window.
You can also select some notes in the matrix or notation editor and then

use the "Set Loop To Selection" function on the Move menu.
You can't loop a segment just by selecting it though, no.  Wouldn't that

interfere with editing during playback?  Or do you mean only if you

select something before hitting Play?
