Mom used to tell me to have a "belly laugh" at least once a day. 
Aaron, you did a blessing!

I though we were finally getting beyond this issue. :-(

Hey!!! I brought it up in September and again last week via a link 
that re-started this thread!!  (Text follows. See section II.)

Seriously, Aaron or anyone else, if I've made some errors or could 
add to the outline, make specific suggests and I will revise and 
post in files.

===========================================================
Thanks to Erik and Aaron for their tips and clarifications.
===========================================================
I. Editing note lengths (and other data) in recorded patterns

I edit individual note lengths and other data in recorded patterns
using Preset Edit Mode.

(1) Select Pattern to Edit
(2) Press Edit Pattern
(3a) Scroll to NOTE [note editor menu] to edit note lengths
(3b) Scroll to EVENT [event editor menu] to edit events
(4) Press enter to view/edit
(5) Select track to edit
(6) Place the cursor under the dash in the <-> field
(7) Find the note [or event] you want to change
(8) Scoll to the dur [duration] value and change it.

You could also change notes en masse with quantize.

===========================================================
II. Setting up note lengths in Record: Step Mode

In step record mode, resolution determines the space between notes
and gate determines the note duration. For example, in 4/4:

Res:whl Gate:50% Auto:Y

automatically places successive 1/2 notes [duration = 2.000 beats]
at the start of every 4 beat measure.

===========================================================
III. Setting and editing note lengths in Record: Grid Mode

In grid record mode,
(1) the Track Enable/Mute-Trigger button
------> rotates you through grid resolution
(2) the Quick Edit-Program-Volume-Pan button
------> toggles the grid editor between velocity and gate setting
--------->gate = duration as percent of step resolution

Hope this helps.
