Using the keyboard on the left side of the Piano Roll View, you can select all of one note.  In other words, isolate only notes sounding Bb, in an entire composition.   I would like to see these notes alone in the controller pane, so the draw tool can rapidly sweep through, yet not effecting unselected notes.
If this is possible, how is it done?
thanks,

Not as far as I know. You could however use the Select->By filter menu choice to achieve the same thing with no click dragging at all. Does that help?

Or...select the notes and move them to an empty track (pointed at the same Midi port and channel). Make your sweeps, then you can copy them back or leave them in the new track. If you leave them in the new track, don't forget to print it along with the main track when you record the audio, unless you want to effect those particular notes differently than the rest. There are no limits to how you approach this.

Yes, thanks, that helped.  I now know, it isn't currently possible to draw-edit a single note range, the way Sonar is constructed.   It can be done with drum mapping, but not many musicians would need it.

Well, this is possible, actually.
 
First select 'Show velocity on selected notes only' from the Notes menu in the Piano roll.
 
Now if you select one row of notes, the velocity from this row alone will show in the controller pane.
 
If you hold down the alt-key while sweeping through with the draw tool you'll now change the velocity of the selected notes only.
 
Hope that helps
 Cheers!

thanks! 

And if you're trying to change all the notes to the same value you can select them with the keyboard, as you're saying, then use the Event Inspector in the Control Bar to change Velocities, Durations, etc., all at once.
