Make it possible to select rests of the same duration

Currently you can select notes of a certain duration by selecting an area, right click a note and choose select>more... then specify the duration in the dialog box. You cannot select rests by duration. You only have the option of rests. I would like to see a check box that identifies the rest you right click and give you the option to select only the rest of that duration.

Why would this be useful? When you are entering a combination of beamed notes and short rests, you must ctrl+click to select only the rests you want to apply beams to. Here is a short except of the final product.

FYI, I used select>more... to select the 8th notes and applied the down bows to them.
