This should be possible by copying the points before inserting empty space (insert time, not beats), and then pasting the points back into the empty space.

Copy points within time selection may be particularly useful if the time selection doesn't begin on a tempo/timesig marker, since these "within time selection" actions do not only copy points, but also remember the empty space surrounding them.

A potential problem is the bug in Options: Add edge points when ripple editing or inserting time. If activated, it will delete any time signature change at the beginning of the time selection. For accurate shifting of other envelopes, though, it may be necessary. Fortunately, the damage caused by this bug can be repaired by simply pasting the copied points over the moved points (perhaps after first deleting some of the moved points to avoid having two different tempo markers at the same position).

(Timebases for everything (markers as well as items) should be set to time.)
