Expand note edit functions in note regions

Since it is possible now to move selected notes both in time (in snap units) and in pitch (semitone and octave), I'd propose to implement additional features in this area:

  • Shift+left/right arrow: It would move the note to the previous or next beat, respectively. It would also preserve the note's time offset from the beginning of the beat. The idea is to have the equivalent of moving notes up and down by octaves for time, so that two magnitudes of it (fine and coarse) can be used simultaneously.

  • TAB key: selects the next note (note to the right of the currently selected note). If there are multiple notes selected, then select the next note after the rightmost note inside the selection.

  • Shift+TAB: Same as TAB, but for the previous note (to the left of the current selection).

The general idea would be to have the tools to be able to edit notes inside a note region without having to use the mouse at all, as if it were a kind of text processor. Edits would be very fast.
