Okay.. Its very hard for me to explain, but I try:
 
I have play a part into Sonar X3 Studio with my Keyboard. After that, I would like, that all notes are Quantized, because they are played a little bevor the Beat is.
 
So I mark a Clip and hit "Q" for Quantize. I leave all like it is an choose just "Duration" to 1/4 (or something I need) and after that all notes are perfectly arranged. OK. All works fine till here.
 
Now I want to Move the Clip to a new Position, or Hit STRG too, to Copy an Clip.
And now it is, that the Clip is not on a full Beat, but a little After: I think exactly the Position, the quantize moved them to the Left..
 
It is like the Notes will Quantize, but the Clip himself has his "old Size", so the notes I play bevor is now an "Empty room".
I can Choose the Clip and grab one Note and move them to the right Position, or Quantizied again, But its bad work :)
 
So, maybe someone can tell me, what is my fault on my Working-Steps?
How can I "cut" the Clip, that the First played (qantizied) Note is the Beginning of the Clip, and not the Note I played first.
There are no other Events I played, like Sustain.. (Or I See nothing like this).
 
Maybe you can tell the Chapter in the Manual, that explain that, so I can read it in german, if its all to hard to understand :)
 
Thank you for your Help

After the quantize, select the clip & Bounce it to itself

- I recommend you quantize only Start Times, and not Durations (Length).
- Then read the section of the manual on Snap Grid (page 370 in the English X3 Ref. Guide).
- To move or copy a clip to another track or lane without altering its start time, hold Shift while dragging.
- If the clip has blank space in it after editing for whatever reason, you can use Clips > Bounce to Clip(s) as suggested, or right-click and Apply Trimming (usually less destructive). If you still see some apparently blank space, it's probably because a Sustain or other controller event at the end of the clip is not clearly visible.

Thanks. I will try out at the next time.
My (personal) Problem is: My Language is german. I have download the german Manual, but my Software (bought on Steam) is in English.. Steam says German is available, try out to change the Language many times, but always its English. So I have sometimes Problems to know how it works :)
 
But Sonar is a good Software and many Things i can find if I tryout ;)
