Sliding Edit for Melody?

Is there any way to setup so that down stream notes slide with position, rather than immediate change the length if the next note?

I’m noodling with melody and don’t know how long I’ll hold notes and have not found a good way to tweak them as I work down. I don’t know if I’m missing some secret or if it just requires cutting all notes downstream and modifying, then pasting again.

For example, I decide I want this word to be a run down a few notes. So I want to lengthen it and split it twice to make 3 notes. Say C → B → A. And this requires making a 1/4 note into a half. Ideally I would turn on the mode and when I drag a note the relative timings of notes downstream are preserved, but their position in the song moves.

Right now I need to cut all notes downstream (at least to a pause) and then lengthen the note and paste again. Tons of possibility to lose something.
