Steve,

The number of tics for a  quarter note can be set to different values. The 
default in Sonar may be 960 tics, but if it's set to a different value in 
the preferences, then all the numbers may be a fraction or multiple. In fact 
if you import a MIDI file from another application that may well be the 
case. I've seen many files where the quarter note duration is 240 tics, for 
example.

So for the duration it's important to first know how many tics to the 
quarter note. Look at the event of a known note position and refer to the 
position column. If you know it's the second beat, then the tics number will 
be either 960, or whatever number is the default. Use that as your basis.

Hi Winy ,

This is correct now, Thanks to DJX for spotting my foolish mistake.
Ok we are  going to have a G5 for our wrong note and it also has the wrong
velocity and duration, located on bar 10 beat 2 tick 480.

1: get to the position on your song where the mistake has been made,
2: go to event view by pressing Alt 4,
3: arrow across right until you are on, "Bar Beat Tick" column, making sure
this is on the Bar Beat and tick position for the note you wish to change,
example Bar 10 beat 2 tick 480,
4: Now move cursor across right until you hear the note name "G5" column,
5 press enter on this column and arrow up or down to the note you wish to
change the G5 too, lets say F5,
 6: once you hear F5 press enter again and the note is changed,
7: arrow right once will put you on velocity, again just press enter type in
new velocity number let say 97 and press enter again,
8: move right once more to duration press enter and type in the duration you
want, example we want it to be a eighth note so we type 480 then press
enter.
We now have F5 Velocity 97 and duration 480 ticks.

Ticks are: one quarter note =960 ticks, eighth note 480 ticks, sixteenth
note
=240 ticks.

Hope this helps,

Steve W
