I have a full day planned, but will try to look at the Schaltwerk thread and break down the ppq thing. It is a simple concept that once it clicks. I will explain more later, but here's the basic concept:

Measures are broken down into beats/note lengths/etc.
--e.g., there are four 1/4 notes per measure
Quarter notes are broken down into parts (also called ticks)
--e.g., there are 384 parts (or ticks) per 1/4 note.

384 is a nice number. (Basically it divides up nice for various note durations. I can explain more later.)

Also, this morning I was looking in the OS addenda (which I assume are embedded in the most recent editions of the manual). It struck me, in scaling or shifting start times, you can limit the range. Thus if you have a paticular drum on C2 that you want to make earlier in an entire track, you can do that. Then if you want to delay the start of an particular drum hit on E2, you can do that.  I am not sure if that might be useful, but I thought of this thread when I read that.

Hope this helps.

Steve
