Summary0006348: Context menu for midi notes is confusing
Descriptionin Internal Edit mode, you can right-click in a region to pop a menu that performs some MIDI operations.

There are some inconsistencies:

Right-clicking on a note and then choosing "Delete" has no effect. You must select (by turning it red) at least one note. Perhaps right-clicking on a note should turn it red, if nothing else is selected? Or perhaps that menu item shouldn't be visible until one or more note/s are selected.

"Edit" also requires a red selection; but it does NOT allow multiple items to be acted on. So, perhaps the menu item should only appear if a single note is selected.

"Legatize" and "Remove Overlap" require that multiple notes be selected. They should not be selectable if 0 or 1 notes are selected.

This is further complicated by the fact that you can right-click on a MIDI region - in Grab mode - and it will automatically know to operate on ALL the midi notes in the region. So you might think that right-clicking on the region in Internal Edit would do the same. but it doesn't. Perhaps it should?

Check 336f8d47fe for improvements here.

Right clicking on a region in Internal Edit isn't handled by that commit, but everything else you mentioned should be (right click a note conditionally selects it).
