There is a very simple and useful function, SCALE, which is not in the transform pallette. Time stretching is a crude graphic-only function. For example, if you play a great drum loop without regard to timing, then want to stretch it to fit one bar, you can't get it exactly right. You could also use it to accelerate an arpegio, etc. Its quite simple - just give it a multipler like 1.2 to stretch all the notes in length while stretching their start points accordingly so you have A nicer versioin would be like a "MIDI Time and Pitch machine, minus the Pitch". Give it how many bars you want to make it or whatever. In fact, this could be tied to the functioin which sets tempo by bar length.

You hold down alt and drag the right end of a sequence and it stretches the contents to the length you want it to be. David Tobin
