I'm aware of the Edit On mouse drag function. What it doesn't do is enable me to draw a straight line without making multiple attempts with the mouse for consistent values across multiple clips. (It takes more than one attempt in many cases to get something consistent.) The mouse is a poor tool for drawing consistent lines with, without multiple edits.
The FR is more about event value based input, not just editing initial note velocity events, which occur only at the beginning of each note.
I can record a bunch of notes in clips. Then I want to add events manually for Volume, Expression, etc that provide a consistent set of musical phrase values for each clip, so i can then fine tune those values for musicality, after I have set an initial "global" value across multiple instrument clips. I'd like to do this initial inputting with one pass. A straight line function means i can input and move on quickly to the next clip and so on. So after I put in a phrase worth of notes, i can add a line to indicate a ramp up in volume (for example) a line for a maximum event value for that phrase, and then a ramp down to zero, or a much lower event value.
For consistency across multiple clips, particularly instruments in the same instrument family, i.e. Strings, straight line input is a fast, usually one time addition, with similar consistent values across multiple clips, in a much shorter time than attempting to draw a straight line with a mouse, and having to dither over the values, back and forth, to get somewhere near the same consistent result.
This is definitely a workflow FR, and while it may not seem glamorous, it's important, imho, and a real time saver. (based on past experience)
