Your idea

The shortcuts 'Select note/rest above' and 'Select note/rest below' (Alt+Up and Alt+Down respectively) currently only work on single-note selections, not list selections of multiple notes.

Problem to be solved

Running it again would get you this (and running it any number of times more, since the selection is now already at the top of each chord)...
Image

Then, one 'Select note/rest below' gives this...
Image

And one more gives this...
