I think there is some confusion here about what the repitch tool should or shouldn't do. The point of the repitch tool is to be able to quickly change the notes of a whole passage while keeping the rhythms: as soon as you have repitched one note, the tool moves to the next one. So you play through the new pitches, either on the MIDI keyboard or on the computer keyboard, and the pitches of the notes change as you play. This is particularly useful for choral writing, or indeed any sort of ensemble writing where several parts have the same rhythms but different notes: just write the passage in one part, copy it to another part and run through the pitches with the repitch tool. It saves you all the bother of entering the rhythms again.
An alternative for this situation is to enter the chord sequence on the top stave (easy if you use a MIDI keyboard in speedy entry and the chords are not too widely spread) and explode it to the ones below it.
