Description
As you can see from my .gif ( below ) if we have overlapping notes, only the last note will take precedence over prior notes ( i.e when selected the note shows the full highlighted blue tone, covering the other note making it easier to distinguish ).
- I propose that we allow any note that is selected to be visually raised to the top while the mouse button has focus for overlapping notes.
_Sorry if the .gif does not show as clearly as it does in the software ( seems to be a known issue with byzanz )_

Research direction
Start by locating the piano-roll note selection and rendering entry points, then reproduce the overlapping-note case shown in the attached GIF. Confirm that selecting a note while the mouse button has focus visually raises it above overlapping notes, and verify that unselected notes retain their existing appearance.
