without adjusting the start and end points, just slide the content left or right?

Is Alt-Shift+Drag what you are looking for?

it's called nudging in sonar. you can specify three diff nudge settings under preferences/customization/nudge. you select it via process/nudge menu option or the hotkeys.  or you can lasso the notes in prv and drag them...

@scook - nice one! forgot about that!

thanks scook, that was it!

Oh nudge. That is different, left=1,4 and 7 right=3,6 and 9 on numeric keypad configutation where swamptooth indicated.

Edit: OK it wasn't nudge, well these are the keyboard shortcuts anyway and your welcome. I have been watching some videos recently or I would not have known that one.
