Randy - The other thing I have a problem when using handles, is when I have multiple tracks open in the PRV, and one track is selected, you can see the controller events from the other tracks.  If I'm drawing new events on the selected track, sometimes the mouse hits a handle from one of the other tracks, and all of a sudden I've switched to a different track.  This is annoying.  I have to purposely start drawing in an area of the screen that doesn't have handles. (how unmusical is that?)  Maybe with "handles off" this won't happen...

One thing I do like about handles, is if I want to raise the overall volume of a bunch of tracks, it lets me lasso all controller events in a single lane,  and then I can drag one handle up or down, and all the tracks events change at the same time.  This has proven to be pretty effective.
