I want to take all snare drum notes out of one track and put it into another, as a standalone snare drum track. Other than manually selecting each and every D3 note, then cut & paste into the new track, isn't there a way to simply tell Sonar to take all D3's from track 1 and put them in  track 2? 

I believe there is a way to "ask" it to select them all with 1 click.

I believe you can simply click the D3 row (using the keyboard thing in the PRV), Copy the Notes (which copies all the D3 notes in the clip) then paste that into the new track.
 
Not entirely sure about that.

And I think there is also Cal Script to separate notes into individual clips (or maybe tracks)... so in this case all your D3 snare hits would be stripped out into their own clip (or track). Haven't tried that one yet... and the only reason I was unsure about my earlier post is I'm not sure about the "Pasting" part... but you can select an entire row as I describe IIRC. I have not been doing much MIDI lately.

You are correct sir. I was messin with Strum and I checked. you can even use cut and cut out the delete. For more than you would need a "Copy to New Track" movement and a feature request campaign.

So close!  It works except that pasting it into the new track puts it in a random place so it's out of sync.

All you gotta do then is select and drag all the notes to the correct note or select all the notes and using the MIDI Event Inspector Module (in the Control Bar) to change the note quality.
 
Not as elegant as all that (and I'm guessing maybe the notes did not land where you wanted perhaps due to your cursor postion in the new track/clip) but still pretty simple for a single row.
 
Cheers.

Oops... If you meant timing then maybe you have to disable Snap To Grid. Sounds like all the notes (or the first note) snapped and tossed things out of whack.
 
I can't tell without my hands on the project.
 
Cheers.

Yup, timing. :-)  What I've done is cloned the track, then in PRV dragged my mouse across the notes I DON'T want in the new track, and deleted them until only the note I want remains.  Bogs me down slightly but it's good enough if no other solution exists.
 
I need to finish this one song so I'll leave it at that.  When I need to do the same later on I'll look into the Snap To Grid idea.
 
Thanks for your help!

This is not over yet. Its just picky. Give a bit to trim required steps but I have done it after the first unsuccessful one for now it seems no snap and staying in the PRV (using "Pick Tracks" instead of double clicking clips and the like). But I have seen it work more now. Just need the right spin on the shot.
