For transposing notes up and down an octave in PRV, I have a keyboard shortcut that I've set up as a keybinding, by assigning
Process-Transpose to Alt-T (an unused keybind)

First, Select notes to transpose (or an entire clip) - then Alt-T (my keybinding) which pops up the Transpose window,
then I click square brackets [ or ] to transpose up or down an octave.

It sounds like a lot, but once the keybind is set up, it's 2 quick keyboard commands to do a transpose.

Scook has nailed it. Thanks a lot! I was going to setup a autohotkey to repeat nudge 12 times, but this is even better. CAL for the win!

Yay for scook! I hadn't even thought about using a CAL script for that. Great idea.

Now I just have to find two keystrokes that aren't already mapped to something...

I really gotta learn all that fancy CAL stuff. Freaks me out though fiddling with the guts of a program.

Thanks guys. This just screamed CAL to me, simple MIDI macro, it was a hack job based on an existing CW supplied script.

In the transpose dialog, right click the + to go up by an octave (or - for down an octave). Good time saver. Sometimes it is quicker to use this and then click down a few steps when you are making large jumps (like +7).

Am I right in understanding that the Recording CAL Programs instruction at the bottom of this page (http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/article.aspx?aid=110) doesn't apply to Sonar X2?
I don't see CAL Script in the File-New menu...
What I'm trying to do is create a macro that sets the duration of all selected note events to 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc.
It would be a little faster than using the Event Inspector...  (edit: if assigned to a keyboard shortcut)

The first line of the DevXchange doc is a clue "Cakewalk Application Language (CAL) is an event-processing language that you use to extend Pro Audio and Professional with custom editing commands." Those are very old Cakewalk products. CAL scripts work in SONAR but it lacks the tools from older CW Products. SONAR includes a few CAL scripts. CAL scripts are plain text. This CAL Editor http://www.softpedia.com/...itors/CAL-Editor.shtml includes a chm that covers the language. I do not believe changing Note.Dur would be that hard.
