piano roll selects all notes in a single key track.
There are two options for quantizing MIDI notes in Live. As previously mentioned, you can
move notes so that they snap to the visible grid lines. Alternatively, you can select a note
or notes and choose the Quantize command from the Edit menu, or use the
Ctrl

(Mac) hotkey. This brings up a dialog box with several quantization options.
Quantizing MIDI Notes.
Using the options presented here, you can select a meter value for quantization and set
either the note start or end (or both) to be quantized. Quantizing the note end will stretch
the note so that it ends at the chosen meter subdivision. You can also quantize notes without
giving them that quantized feel using the Amount control, which will move notes only by
a percentage of the set quantization value.

Ctrl
(PC) /
Alt
(Mac) modier to click and drag a copy of
a note to a new location.
