Move the “Timewise Delete” menu item from inside the Tools menu to below the “Delete” menu item in Edit menu. That is where I looked for it first, and that feels like where it belongs to me.
I don’t know if the Edit > Delete menu item is specific to macOS. If so, this move might be a macOS-only change.
For more justification of why this menu item should be in the Edit menu, see my story of how I had trouble finding this menu item: Feature request – Make “Delete Selected Measures”/“Timewise Delete” more discoverable
Comments
It is not Mac specific.
FWIW (and I'm aware some electrons have been inconvenienced on this topic as well):
I'd also vote for renaming "timewise delete" to something more common such as "remove [(selected) beats]"
[EDIT] and/or differentiate "Delete" as "Delete contents"
That has been done already, in 3.1 Beta, to "Remove selected range"

I'll just be over there now, right at the end of my walk of shame ;)
