Most of those functions in pattern and song edit work in the same way.
Would think doing it in the command station is quicker even if you have 
to do the same function a few times.
By the time you've uploaded and downloaded mid files...
Hardest bit is keeping track of how many semitones you need to shift 
things.

Yes your right there, we could of done with an parameter to select the 
bar range to be affected as well. (as MPC2KXL has)
I like the idea of using cubase to do all the fiddly editing, you can 
use the command station as a sound module like this so you still hear 
the right stuff.
Then export the mid file back into it.
