nope, i've seen it, but am in no way used to it or know
all the glory details of how cubase does things.

with the approach brahms uses, notes that are played simultaneously
can't have differentz velocities, so i tend to favour the per-note
slider you suggested in private email. otoh, using the slider will
be pretty cumbersome if you simply want velocity to raise during a
period of time, for that, an editing mode like brahms has it is
probably inevitable...
