Yes, the simpler, the better. The Hydrogen way is probably not going
to work as it is, since this would prevent selecting a note by just
clicking it. Left click to add or select and right click to remove
would be very nice & simple as long as creating a selection would also
be easy to do using the left mouse button. I assume the right click
would also remove a selected group of notes?

If you plan on statically setting "adding" to true, you should also
check if that affects creating selections.

Hmm.. If I have time to read and write this much e-mails, wouldn't one
also think that I'd also have time to actually code something... :D
