Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

segue
-------------
'segue' - is a noun meaning a seamless transition or passage of music meant to follow a piece while leading into another without pause. It is also an intransitive verb meaning to seamlessly transition or do the same such in a musical passage.
It comes from the Mid-18th century when the italians first began using the verb "to follow" (seguire) as an idiom in their language.
Through music, it gained widespread use, and by the end of the 1800's, it had spread to musical theatre, and from there, other areas. It is most often found in forms of artistic expression, whether it be paintings, literature, film, or music.
------------
In broadcast, transition from one sound source to the next without interruption, from the Italian, meaning "there follows";
pronounced segway.

"In journalism
In journalism, a segue is a method of smoothly transitioning from one topic to another. A segue allows the host or writer to naturally proceed to another topic without jarring the audience. A good segue makes the subject change seem like a natural extension of the discussion.
Segues can also be performed on televisual journalism, such as on news reports or current affairs programs. The Segue has been a popular topic on the Australian satirical program The Chaser's War on Everything, in which they mention, often ridicule, and to some extent glorify the segues performed by Anna Coren on Today Tonight. Their segment is known as Anna Coren's Segue of the Week." (see ref. given above)

: segue [pronunciation: segway] is only found in technical or idiosyncratic usage in English,whereas bruggetje is fairly everyday in Dutch

Yes, that's why I also suggested 'transition', which I prefer. 'Segue' is a rather strange word and not often used. Too bad it is pronounced 'segway,' as that kind of spoils it ... ;)

: There is a subtle difference between 'transition' and 'link.' Depending on the context, one of these ought to do nicely.
