Undupe is my most most used used CAL.  Thanks for making it work better better.

Thank you all for the kind words. You can also get the improvement I made on LEGATO.CAL.
I'm actually getting to know CAL Scripts. It's tremendously limited, but unfortunately, it's the ONLY real option to a script within Cakewalk.
I say it's the ONLY option because either AZ Lua or other MFX scripts (eg Frank's MIDI plugins) cannot work inside a selection, ie they just work within the entire track. I have been talking about this in this post.
This greatly limits its use.
So I have dedicated a great time to learn CAL.
I am currently developing a much more powerful midi HUMANIZE (including a complex POLYNOMIAL BICUBIC INTERPOLATION algorithm for events).
As soon as I get the first version ready, I'll show you.

 Just a thought... what happens if you add AZ Lua as a clip effect? Does this still affect the entire track?

That was what I was thinking when I first read (several thread ago) something similar to

I have not messed with AZ Lua until just now. It seems it can process a clip. At least it did in this simple example

Don't know Lua syntax but managed to copy an example from the AZ forum page and make a couple of trivial changes creating script to lower notes by an octave. Above it the result of selecting part of lane to create a clip, selecting AZ Lua from Process Effects > MIDI Effects, pasting my test program into the plug-in and processing the plug-in.

Unbelievable! 
The AZ Lua administrator himself said it was not possible. Look: http://www.azslow.com/index.php?topic=399.new;topicseen#new
And neither did he know ...
 
Scook and Mark: you are a genius! 
 
With this approach, everything changes!

Yeah, I saw that thread when I was looking for the plug-in. It may not work for more complicated scripts IDK.
 
Don't want to start a language war. I am just too lazy to bother learning yet another language. If the dev had elected to use Tcl instead of Lua, I would have been glad to give the plug-in a workout. Now if AZ Tcl comes along or someone makes it worth my while to learn Lua....

BTW Process Effects > MIDI Effects works on selected notes (notice I did not bother to load AZ Lua in the clip FX bin in the example above) and AZ Lua appears to work like any other MFX. Here is an example selecting notes and raising them an octave.

There is a message thread under the "Software" forum section titled SONAR & Cakewalk by Bandlab (CbB) Resources and Utilities.  It would be great if you posted your link there so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of new messages.

This is absolutely FANTASTIC. 
This discovery changes the whole previous paradigm, where the application of MFX would only be possible within the whole track.
Now, just by selecting notes and, in track view, right-clicking and selecting Process -> MIDI Effects, you can now apply ANY MFX to a selection.
 
Thank you very much Scook!
