Sorry, I should have checked to confirm that lasso in the PRV works as expected when all events are included; I see now it doesn't. That actually seems like a bug that it selects all the way to the clip boundaries if you lasso every event.
 
I guess the bottom line is you will need to Apply Trimming to the clip as suggested earlier.

Let's say I want to just record some short midi sequence, edit few changes and copy/paste it in same track.
 
But even if I just simple quantize it I can't copy/paste whole sequence properly, because what I copy are notes with that pre-quantize time space on beginning of clip so I can't paste it on specific place.
 



Ah. I see. So you want the clip to be able to "Snap" to the Timeline after your edits (and I'm assuming you want the first note after your quantizing/editing to be the Snap point... like it should appear right at the 1 beat of the measure it is being pasted into).
 
In that case applying trimming (as Brundle said) or manually snipping/slip editing the clips or bouncing or whatever just to get the clip trimmed seems like what you're gonna have to do (despite your desire to not have to).
 
I agree that having clips shrink as data is removed is more annoying than having to trim clips.
 
Maybe some of the smarter guys know a setting that will do what you want.
 
Cheers.

Perhaps a Range Select on the clip/inside the PRV will perform better than Lasso for this task?
 
Sorry I do not have open MIDI data on my screen in my current project to test this at the moment.
 
Cheers.

Thanks Beepster,
it seems that Range select in PRV is most usable way to do that. Still hope that select bug will be fixed someday :)

Cool. Personally I find some of the Selection quirks and complexities in Sonar to be one of the more confounding parts of the fundamental workflows. I'm sure there is some logic behind the way all these things work the way they do but they are decades in the making and some of that logic has been lost/forgotten so updates and consolidation are required.
 
I've noticed attempts at such improvements over the past few years to streamline things though so onwards and upwards, aye?
 
Cheers.
