Whops I used some Special option for copy or Paste that has the two track reflection each other. Cool possibilities but I need to start from scratch. Scook "pleh"

I'd have to go through it myself and my DAW is not on but I'm guessing it would go something like this...
 
With an empty target MIDI track in the project as well as the source track...
 
In source track click the desired row of notes (in this case D3)...
 
Set the Now Time to the very start of the project and make sure Snap is disabled
 
Select the target track (by clicking the number so it turns blue or maybe just bring it "In Focus" so the track name turns pale blue (in newer versions)
 
Then do your past move (Ctrl V or maybe Right Clicking > Paste).*
 
*This is the part that I'm having the hardest time envisioning but the rest I think should be solid.
 
It is of course possible this is one of thse things that requires those fancy Copy/Paste Special functions. Dunno.
 
Of course there are a ton doods here who do MIDI daily who could, yanno, chime in any second now (wink wink, nudge nudge).
 
Cheers.

The screenshots are from an old Sonar version but the procedure is the same.
 

 

Really neither Beepster or I should be your Huckelberry. I tried to invoke Scook. It works without leaving PRV if the track you are going to paste into has a blank midi clip and Now time is at zero. Not sure why the blank clip? and using pick track from the PRV menus (Not changing any focus back at the tracks.)

Of course if it were me. I would have given into the temptation, duplicated the source clip in a new track and deleted the non snare hits.

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.

It's faster, after you've cloned the track, to hit "Ctl-A" to select all the notes in the PRV, then "Ctl-left_click" the note you want to keep on the PRV's keyboard, then "Ctl-X" or "Delete" to get rid of all the notes you don't want.  Only the note you want will remain.  You can do this on multiple notes at a time if you want to keep more than a single note.

Exactly what I did per my post #9. :-)

Ah, of course, brilliant! 
 
 
I appreciate all the suggestions and replies, folks. I've bookmarked this thread for reference when I need it again.  Thanks!
 

The simplest solution is the MIDI plug-in, "MIDI Event Filter."
 
For example, suppose you want to extract only the C3 notes from a clip. 
 
1. Copy the clip to a new track so you don't disturb the existing track.
2. Insert the MIDI Event Filter in the new track's FX Rack.
3. Open the MIDI Event Filter and check the "Notes" box. Enter C3 in the two note fields (don't try to use the little arrows to adjust notes, they're squirrely. I've alerted QC about this).
4. With the clip selected, choose Process > Apply Effect > MIDI Effects.
5. All the notes except C3 will be cut because your selection consists only of those notes - the others are filtered out.
 

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I think this is the easiest way:
 
1. Click the D3 row in the PRV to select the notes.
2. Click the blank area of the track header in the Track view just to move focus to the view.
3. Hit Num 2 key (to nudge the selected notes to another track).

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.

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

When pasting to a new track use Control Alt V (Paste Special). Specify the start of the track. It will put it in exactly the same spot. You can verify you've selected from the start of the track for your selected area if you look at the Event Inspector in the Control bar. If you've selected from another starting point then use that value for your Control Alt V starting point.

You can paste with precision.
