By the way, i just read your question again and noticed I overlooked "by grid". I'm assuming you mean you want to be able to move forward and back 1 bar at a time (and yes, this is an assumption since an equally valid assumption could be made for each beat within a given bar). In other words, assuming we're at bar 1 wanting to move to bar 9, we'd end up pressing a key 8 times.
This is HORRIBLE
In vim terms, we call this "leaning". The idea of "leaning" on a key (pressing it over and over again or simply holding it down for some amount of time in order to achieve multiple iterations of the operation) is just about the most inefficient method commonly used by people when they interact with a piece of software. It is an absolute time-sink we commonly refer to as "grunt-work".
Given the choice, it's actually more efficient to use the mouse and that's saying something as keybindings entire purpose in life is to provide a means to interact with the system more efficiently than the mouse.
