Cubase 10.5: Restricting piano roll to defined scale

In Ableton Live you are able to show only used notes within the piano roll so a great trick is to define the notes in the required scale by placing notes outside of the bar and then hide unused.

Is it possible to do such a thing in Cubase? I know you can define scales and the note automatically snaps to the closest one but thats not what I'm after.

Ideally, I'd like to define the key and then have the piano roll show me only the notes in that key.

I'm yet to find anything Cubase can't do so I remain optimistic.

there is no such a feature, should set the project key signature and use the score editor, that one is scale-independent

Thanks for those links.

I've actually found an even better feature than the one I wanted; the ability to colour code notes in a selected scale. This is an absolute godsend.
