Sweet!

It will take some getting used to, visually, but seems to be generally 
working.  It makes me wonder if the velocity tool shouldn't affect everything 
that's currently selected, instead of acting on one event at a time.  That's 
what I was expecting to happen, and that's what the other tools do.

Actually, having the event whose velocity is being twiddled drop its selection 
rectangle is mildly distracting, and I do think the whole thing should either 
affect the event in question singly or the entire selection broadly.  As to 
affecting it broadly, this should probably work in much the same fashion as 
how the the velocity ruler behaved.  (Changes to the event being twiddled 
were scaled onto other selected events as well as possible, and you could 
wind up running everything all the way to either extreme and leveling them 
all out.)

Not sure if it's your doing, but the new sweep selector box looks cool!

The whole thing does make me wonder about having velocity rulers at all.  I 
don't know what you concluded after your long, hard think you just reported, 
but I think we almost could do away with the velocity ruler and rely on the 
matrix if there were some visually impaired mode that drew the values 
somewhere.  Not quite sure how that would go over with primarily notation 
users.  I'm one of those, but what velocity twiddling I do from the notation 
view, I normally just do with the automagic interpreter anyway.  It actually 
does a surprisingly good job of getting it right for a first try.

Sorry, this isn't terribly coherent.  I'm just blurting out gut reaction stuff 
and random thoughts.

Nice work here!
