Confess I'm not sure how, or not this may be beneficial. But the benefit is not that clear at all.

Hi John,
I think Airon has described very well the use of the pencil tool (particularly as relates to dialogue editing).
I work in feature film post-production in the Los Angeles area. I see you are in London. So, let's say hypothetically that you are working at De Lane Lea in Soho on a feature film <let's say a James Bond sequel>. The picture editor hands sound editorial Avid change lists on an daily basis, as the director is in discussions with the studio about the current cut of the film, and the dubbing date is near at hand (tomorrow morning and it's 6:00pm). Say you are the supervising sound editor, and as usual, the change notes add up to approximately 100 picture cuts per reel on a 6 reel show. This includes extensions, trims, juxtapositions, and the six reels have been rebalanced to allow for main titles. Now, you have not yet begun predubbing, so you have hundreds, if not thousands of tracks to conform (dialogue, adr, group adr, hard sfx, background sfx, foley (props, footsteps, movement)).
I ask you, which would be a better idea - to conform and fix them one track at a time, or by edit groups?
In any event, this is already moving forward in Reaper at the following thread through the efforts of Jedstar2000 and Fuseburn:
