You may be able to meet this need with the Edit Step feature?
I get a lot of mileage out of setting the Edit Step to a variety of intervals, allowing me to make changes all over the timeline very quickly.
While I’ll often “rough in” the kick drums every 4 lines, snares every 8, and hi hats every 2, I can then lengthen the edit step to 16 or 32 lines and go back to start adding interesting variations to the patterns (accents, one-off sounds, etc).
Not sure what exactly you’re trying to accomplish (and honestly, I’d like the ability to do exactly what you’re describing) but until that happens, give this trick a shot.
The task I had in mind was to remove select notes spread out over the note editor, by trial, and other similar tasks. Or, copying and pasting a command value to select notes appearing in an inconsistent manner.
