If you change the time of an event, it may also change its position in the
event list. The Event List view follows that event to its new location.
If you try to change the event type (kind of event), SONAR lets you choose
the kind of event you want from a dialog box. When you change one kind of
MIDI event into another kind of MIDI event, SONAR preserves the
parameters as fully as possible.
Note: Shape events cannot be edited, only deleted.

the highlighted event to the kind you chose.
