    always use automation items if you intend to move envelopes around

    For a fast workaround: cant you set another marker at first beat and then move all accordingly by grid one after another?
    You can set the grid size to your wishes.

    ->

    [Alt] right drag around the points. You can move the borders, move the selection (just click, hold and drag it) or copy it with [Ctrl].
    You can even copy or move one lane to a different lane or to a different track.

    Julian Sader's Multi Tool (along with his other MIDI tools) make editing automation and envelopes in REAPER so powerful and easy. I have it mapped to a button on my gaming mouse.

    Natively, the new razor editing is fantastic, and super-powerful combined with automation items. I have right mouse drag mapped to Razor Edit. You could alternatively get studio one-type behaviour on items by setting the bottom half to razor edit and top half to marquee select.
