How to erase only part of a line/stroke made by Apple Pencil in notes

The eraser tool only seems to allow deletion of one stoke at a time. Is there a way to change this to being able to erase a section of a drawing free hand? For example if i draw one complete line and then I want to erase half of it only, how do I do that?

How can I change line thickness when I add a sketch to Notes? I wasn’t happy with sketching in notes because I couldn’t selectively erase parts of my drawings. The eraser simply acted as an undo button, wiping out all or nothing. Then I discovered that you could click “add a sketch” to a note where the eraser tool acts as a real life eraser would. Hooray! I could finally sketch in Notes properly! ... Only, now I cannot figure out how to change line thickness (and gradation) while in a sketch!!! Tapping twice on the pen/pencil/marker icons while doodling in a note gives you the option to change both, but not in sketch?!? Am I missing something? If it’s possible, can someone please tell me how? If it’s not, Apple please fix this ASAP!

Apple notes While using a iPad pencil for writing notes, How can I delete line/lines? I am able to only insert lines but not able to delete them. ‘Undo’ is not an option, as I would like to delete the extra lines at any point while writing.
