MIDI Note length editing

These actions change the length of MIDI notes.

This action moves the end of selected notes to the right by a pixel of your screen resolution, the note gets a bit longer.

Set note ends to start of next note (Cmd ID 40405)

Sections: MIDI Editor, MIDI Event List, MIDI Inline Editor

This action sets the end of each selected note to be at the start time of the next selected note. Could be called "legato".
Mind that you have to have at least two notes selected to have this action do anything.

Edit: Join notes (Cmd ID 40456)

Sections: MIDI Editor, MIDI Event List, MIDI Inline Editor

This action glues selected notes of the same pitch to one long note.

Correct overlapping notes (Cmd ID 40659)

Sections: MIDI Editor, MIDI Event List, MIDI Inline Editor

Triggers REAPER's MIDI note overlap correction routine, in case you have to correct an imported MIDI file with overlapping notes or have Menu -> Options: "Automatically correct overlapping notes while editing" disabled.
If two notes of the same pitch overlap, so that the end of the first note is after the start of the second note, this can lead to notes stop sounding at an unexpected time. This action will shorten the first note to remove the overlapping portion for all events in the MIDI item (disregarding selection).
