Looking for a CAL script

Don't need a CAL for this.  Just use the wonderful Event Inspector.
Here's a video tutorial: http://www.digifreq.com/digifreq/video.asp?ID=7

Doesn't seem to work as the video shows (the video is X1 and I'm using 8.5.3)...
When I try to subtract 30 ticks from a bunch of notes, it actually subtracts 8.
Is it because I'm running in a 480 tick resolution or is this something that was broken in 8.5.3 and fixed in X1?

Haven't seen the video but the Event Inspector in 8.5.3 only seems to work in this context if all the notes are the same duration, otherwise it will end up altering all the selected notes to a specific duration from what I can tell. A CAL would work but might be tricky to write unless you understand the stuff. While not as quick as a CAL, a simple method would be to select the notes, Alt+5 for PRV, grab the draw tool and slide the endpoint of any selcted note left. The closer you are zoomed in (you only have to see the end of one note) you can slide more accurately. While you slide, a little yellow popup should show you how far you are sliding the endtime(s); the first set of numbers in parenthesis should be ticks ex. (-30). Not as efficient as a CAL but still pretty quick and easy.

The video covers both 8.5 and X1.
 
Yes, if you use other than 960 tick resolution, then it doesn't work quite as expected, due to a bug (which I've previously reported; don't know if it's fixed in X1).  I myself use 600, so I have to experiment a bit with the proper number of ticks.

Even at 960 it does not work if the selected notes are of different length, part of the OP's dilemna. The moment you select notes of different lengths the display changes to a percentage (100%); iif you alter the duration it will then alter all notes to a single duration. Try it using 960 and see for yourself.
