I'd like to suggest a <shift> double-click to send the current top
segment to the back. This would also cope with the situation of having
more than two segments on top of each other.

At the same time could something similar be considered in the matrix
editor when you get one (longer) note covering another. I know this
should be a rare occurrence, but I've done it accidentally a few times.
Also there are odd occasions when it produces interesting effects.
