If you want a linear change, from greater to lesser or vice versa, select whatever notes you want changed, and use "process" - "Scale velocity". Then the change will be applied either as percentage of what is already set, or directly as a midi velocity number (check or do not check the percentage tick box). I do this often, so I set the letter "V" as a keyboard shortcut for scale velocity. The "curve" is fixed, unfortunately: it is linear by time, but it will still get you nearly what you want, I think.
