Align Midi Notes End to End

Hello all,
 
I'm wanting to align midi notes end to end without having to move each note individually.
 
For example, say I have 20 midi notes on a track and I want to move them so the next note starts as soon as the preceding one finishes. Is there a way this can be done without having to move them individually?
 
I was hoping there was a feature that allows you to lasso select notes and select an option to do this but I can't seem to find anything.
 
Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Hi. Is this for your own recordings? You could try quantizing (Q) after selecting notes the notes. This (I believe) can be done during recording as well. I just do not remember how to set it. Some of the others here will certainly know 
Best of luck.

If I'm reading it correctly, he wants to move the start times of notes forward in time i.e. to the left so they fall at the end of the preceding note. Unless the end times fall exactly on a beat measure, I know of no way this can be done.

REAPER will do this for you, if you have REAPER you could export your MIDI, then open in REAPER - PRV/MIDI Editor, select the notes then - Edit - 'Set Note Ends To Start Of Next Note', export your MIDI, then back into Sonar

Hello all,
 
Thanks for your responses.
 
I gave Legato.CAL a quick spin but I’m looking to move the notes as opposed to change their duration.
 
For anyone scratching their head in complete wonderment as to why I’d want this feature; I score mainly for film so often find myself abandoning usual time signatures but still need timings to be accurate. Adjusting all notes individually is a real pain and I’m hoping there’s a little used feature somewhere that can achieve what I’m looking for.
 
Thanks all

Or you can talk somebody here in to writing the CAL.

It would probably be pretty easy if you started with legato.cal (and you've programmed before).

 
I was feeling adventurous and in my haste to look into legato.cal I double clicked on it instead of opening it with notepad.  This popped up :
 
         
 
Which had me fearful of CAL being dropped from Sonar.  But then I tried it within Sonar and it appears to work proplerly, though I didn't study the result of the operation.
 
The script is very short.  If you can understand that "(= x y)" really means "x = y" [or "assign y to x"] and
"if (== x y)" means "if (x == y)"  [or "if x happens to be the same as y"] then you can probably figure out the rest pretty easily.  The nested parentheses are just to define the scope of each operation.
 
Which reminds me of when I used to program functions in emacs to make my life easier, 30+ years ago.
 
PS. CAL scripts are invoke by selecting "Process / Run CAL..." from Sonar's main menu.
 

I'm feeling with you here  Did you ever come up with a solution?
