I think you would have to generate some sort of xml to do this.

For instance test.xml={
<Tags>
  <Tag>
    <Simple>
      <Name>ARTIST</Name>
      <String>Dave</String>
    </Simple>
  </Tag>
</Tags>
}

Then use mkvpropedit to insert it:

mkvpropedit -t global:test.xml test.mkv

This would add (or overwrite) the ARTIST value for that Target (the whole Segment).
