[dimitris]

I think that snapping midi notes to MIDI item ticks is wrong. Quantizing to grid, one expects to get just that: quantize to grid - without offset caused by the MIDI item borders. To see your quantized note half a tick to the left/right of the grid line makes no sense. It causes problems too. An example is using a keyswitch, a function present in most sample libraries. Usually, a keyswitch check is performed when a musical note is triggered and switches to the sample group (articulation) indicated by the keyswitch note. Offsets, even as small as the ones created by item-based tick snapping, may break this function. You wouldn't even guess why, as the key press appears quantized at normal viewing range. Only if zoomed in all the way would you notice the tick offset. And to fix you would probably chose to move the note manually (how would you know that this is caused by the MIDI item left edge not being snapped to the timeline ticks?), which means that if you quantize the notes later the function would break again.
