This is because there would be choices to be made - if the note in the second staff were a minim (1/2 note) would it be in or out?

There is a way of doing this however, but it is probably of limited use. You will recall that the Denemo Display "measures" are not really the measures of the typeset music, they just usually correspond; they are actually just "chunks" which allow Denemo to display the music.
So you could use

Command: Split Measure at Cursor
Split the current measure into two at the cursor.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Measures
Internal Name: SplitMeasure

to split off the music you don't want to select from the music you do. The typeset will remain unaffected, but now the selection will include just the notes (etc) that you want.

You would then have pesky blue patches where Denemo thought the measures were underful for which you could use

Command: Ignore Measure Duration Error
Allow too few notes/rests in this measure. Only affects the Denemo display and error checking, the typesetting will place barlines according to the actual durations of notes as usual.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Measures
Internal Name: IgnoreMeasureDurationError

However, I can only imagine this might be useful in some special case (while composing?)...

In the attached example I first selected the second crotchet on the first staff then dragged downwards whereupon the whole bar was selected in both staffs. I'd like it if only the second crotchet in both staffs were selected.
