Stretch MIDI?

I’m trying to understand why the complexity of going through all those steps of the workaround is better than simply grabbing the notes (actually the notes’ velocities as we’ve learned in this thread) and dragging them to the correct location. It’s incredibly easy.

That is what we do.

It’s not better. Just responding to the suggestion that using the command requires guessing.

I'll try to summarize:

Control-drag-Velocities: Drags range such that the last note STARTS where you visually see the edge of the box. Won't change durations (?). Allows for visual feedback, particularly where the selection and the desired result are both off grid.

Scale Time: set ratio/percentage so that END of selection range (i.e., end of last note if notes are lassoed) is what is moved. If you have selected a range of notes, that is some arbitrary time-range, and you want the START of the last note of the selection to land on a specific time address, then either math, guessing (trial & error) is required. Durations are scaled.
