Yes, I also find this rather irritating (and also my bad not reporting 
it...). As a work-around I quickly do CTRL+A (select all) and then ESC 
(de-select all), and that sorts of 'resets' everything so you can pick 
any velocity in the ruler to tweak.

But yes the previous behaviour where selecting 1 single velocity 'block' 
related to a not in the velocity ruler would select just that note, like 
in the main matrix editor, was much better and provided way better UX, 
especially when tweaking velocities a lot.

I think this is rather relevant with synths like Yoshimi which you can 
make react in very fine and creative ways to even minimal velocity 
changes (but then also to SFZ or even soundfonts that have velocity layers).

Ted, any other outstanding stuff you'd like us to test / check?


Thanks!
Lorenzo.
