Hi,
 
I can't seem to get batch edit different length notes to all the equal length.  If I drag the ends, it all just becomes longer/shorter by the dragged about .
 
I'm looking for a way to make all notes quarters/eighths/sixteenths...
 
An NO, Quantize is not the tool i'm looking for because it just adjust notes to "the closest" value...
 
Regards,
B

select the notes and set the duration in the event inspector module

Use the event inspector in the tool bar. Select all notes and enter value. Job done.

A graphical way to do this:

In the PRV, using smart tool, select all notes you want to change.  Then change the length on one of the selected note while holding the "shift" key.  Doing this, all selected notes will become the length of the note you are adjusting.

I wonder, how would someone like me who's blind try out the event inspector? Is there a shortcut key to get to it? I know that alt+4 takes you to the Event List, but I'm sure that's not the same.

There are keyboard shortcuts in the documentation.

Will this same documentation apply to Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition?

The oldest documentation I'm seeing online is for X2, but there is a reference guide for 8.5 owners.
