And the same for velocity ?

You could "lasso" them (right click, and drag to select), and drag (left click at the end of any clip) them together to desired length. You can also hover the mouse over the top of the clip, until you see a "pen with some bars over it), left click, and drag (up or down) to desired velocity / volume. Or ctrl right click, and choose MIDI effects, Cakewalk, velocity, change velocity and enter desired increase / decrease.
Best of luck

Thanks Zargg71 , the problem is that they have all different lenghts and if I drag them , they all increase / decrease their lenght consequently.
I do need to make them all of the same lenght ( i.e. 1/4 )
Is there a way?

Try using the events editor in the command bar. I think that will work.

Hey, why don't we use the new, easiest method? Select the note events, hold down the Shift key and adjust the right edge of one of the events.

My understanding of that reference is that it will produce scaling of all selected values by the same ratio. What the OP is apparently trying to do is to set the actual notes to the same absolute values. If the values are not identical at the outset, the referenced maneuver will not equalize them. Selecting the notes via event filter, and replacing the values with the desired value would seem to be the easiest way to do what he wants.

I think that's when you hold down the CTRL key. It's the SHIFT key I used in my explanation. I've been using the feature ever since it was implemented.

Have you tried selecting all the notes...then right clicking on one note and adjust the properties manually?  Haven't tried it myself, but seems as though it should work if you have multiple notes highlighted.

Nevermind....even double clicking and changing the note values only changes it for the one note even when more then one are selected.  Just tried it.

This is the best answer by far
 
Make your selection and type the desired length in the box
 
Note: if your target length is say, 120 ricks and the first note in your selection is already this length then it will not work. 2 ways to over come this, either re-select the range ensuring the first note needs correcting, or (especially if it's a complex range of non-contiguous notes), using the example above, first type 121 and enter, then hit 120 and enter.
