Go to the piano roll view, with MIDI notes in it that span several octaves off-screen in one beat Go into Selection mode and hold down left-click to start selecting from one side Begin to click-drag a selection box to the other side While you move the cursor, also use your third finger to roll the mouse wheel to reach the other side faster (which bypasses having to move the cursor to the edge before the piano roll starts shifting vertically to track it) Let go of your selection You think you selected the entire column of notes, but when you scroll back to your starting point, you see that amount of the box equivalent to the distance of your scrolling was deselected In any other software with click-drag functionality (even audio editors), scrolling while you drag a selection box does not change the original position of your left-click.

It's not perfect, but AutoHotkey might be able to swap out the mouse wheel controls.
