another little-big one (little in effort, big in utility):
since there is no velocity automation (which is different from volume automation), sometimes is quite hard to apply a velocity ramp to a complex selection:

imagine this repeated 8 times, and think how boring could applying a ramp to all the 128 lines be.
applying a ramping automation to the volume would be good if you are using samples, but using it on a velocity-sensitive VSTi such as a Kontakt multilayered library would just sound terrible.
a simple solution:
in advanced edit’s “Vol/Pan/Effects” section, put two editable values instead of the present one:
“start” and “end” value
it’s something like “Interpolate”, but the interpolation is applied between “start” and “end”, and then the interpolated value is used on each row of the selection
example:
- 128 rows selected
- start = 0.0
- end = 1.0
- modify = Mul
this multiplies the result of a 128-lines interpolation from 0.0 to 1.0 to the selected lines
