Question about nudging

if I understand your question, why not just set your snap to grid settings to 1/32 and just click the next increment? it will land on the next 1/32 and you can split there. you'd have to use the mouse that way and your method above is not asking about mouse clicks, so that may not be what you want, but it would work.

Does zoom level change how much the cursor moves or snap to ?

No, it shouldn't

I guess I can use the mouse that way, but sometimes you mis-click, and the cursor lands two snaps away.

Thern just drag it back one clikc. If you zoom in a bit, you wont miss click and if you do, just slide it back.

Weelll......Noobie here - MY dum q:
I split the audio track ok, but nudging either new track deletes the other. How do I stop that?

To address the question in the title, here's your Now time cursor nudging solution:

http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=1365944

I just tried this by creating CAL scripts that move the Now time cursor forward and backward by 128th notes and bound the scripts to a couple of keys. Very cool. I have a question though. Incrementing (or decrementing) the Now variable in the CAL script does indeed move the Now time cursor and allows me to split clips or assign a marker with the F11 key at the cursor position, but the Now time marker in the time ruler doesn't move (in Sonar PE 8.5.3). So if I nudge the Now time cursor with the key-bound scripts and start the transport, it starts playback from the cursor position, but returns to the unmoved Now time marker position when I stop the transport. Was that the normal behavior when that thread was current or did newer versions of Sonar "break" that functionality? (I know CAL has been deprecated and can't really be called broken anymore.)
