I'm not sure what you mean. I select parts of a measure smaller than a
beat all of the time -- though of course those parts have to exist.
That is, if a measure has only quarter notes, you can't select an
eighth note out of the measure (half of one of the quarters).
You do need to drag carefully. It may help to select a higher viewing
percentage.
I agree with Kurt - what's needed is a quantisation-type setting for
this option. The need to 'drag carefully' is hardly an example of a
well-designed tool.
It's a pain sometimes - I think I've got what I wanted selected, and
discover that I have a bit more or less after I've dragged. And Aaron
is wrong, you can select part of a quarter - I've don't it by accident.
