Description
### Enhancement Summary
Modify the default behaviour of "PianoRoll change volume for selections".
Now, when you try to change the volume of a selection (with mouse left-button) all volumes are set to value of the note you want to change, loosing the original values.
The propossed behaviour is to change the volume of each note from its own value, not reseting them; and adding an additional action to reset values (like mouse middle-button) to default value.
#### Justification
This behaviour is useful when the user wants to change the volume of the clip (or some notes) but keeping the relative volume between them, which I think it's the expected behaviour for this action.
#### Mockup
First, moving volume level with mouse left-button. Second, reset values with mouse middle-button.

Research direction
Start by locating the PianoRoll code that handles volume changes on selections and reproduce the mouse left-button behavior described in the issue. Confirm how selected notes currently receive volume values, then implement the requested relative-volume behavior and middle-button reset, verifying both interactions in the PianoRoll.
