Now that you mention it, I only had a corner of this thought and let it go as impractical in my earlier writing, but it's what we should do. These control points represent physical events (how to handle this once we have interpolated curves is an interesting thing to consider) just like notes or clefs or key signatures, so why should they have to use a different mechanism at all? They just happen to be events that can't easily be represented on the main edit widget, so they have their own special viewer. We should have one selection shared between the main viewer widget (matrix or notation) and the ruler. It's probably unthinkably impractical to actually be able to sweep from one to the other, but you should be able to take a selection you made in the main viewer and add a sweep of control events to it, and cut/copy/paste them as one. (I think at the tail end of Classic, the sweep selection on the editor just extended to include any control items that were in that span of time, and there was no fine control over the process. I can't quite remember what my objections were. Anyway, it was never really complete, and it was buggy.) -- D.
