Failure to select multiple beats when multiple blocks involved

I am attempting to select many beats spanning a several blocks in a lane of my white board, so that I may toggle their visibility in the script. (Script visibility is how I check if something in working better with or without a scene or sequence, for example.)

Works fine when only a few or even all beats within a single block (or outside any block) are selected. But the multi-selection tool does not apparently work when some beats are in one block and other beats are in another block.

Alternately, I thought selecting the beats in the Research window (where it is possible to select hundreds of beats at one) might suffice, but there is no way to right click in the White Board while maintaining the selection set. And the command for toggling script visibility seems inaccessible from the Research window. Shortcut CMD-D doesn’t seem to work either.

CMD-A doesn’t select all beats either.

@perholmes Any suggestion for how to select a large run of beats, perhaps spanning multiple blocks, and “mute” them (toggle their visibility)?

It also seems to be impossible, in the script window, to select multiple beats if the beats are not contained by the same block.

I had the same problem. Selecting multiple beats to apply actions. Only solution I found was to deal with them in selectable groups or individually. Fortunately, it’s not a problem I face often.
