That's true -- I forgot that most programs have the ability to quantize
endings -- it's been a while since I've had to do something like that.  And
my main program for sequencing nowadays is Logic, which I don't believe has
functions to work on note endings in Matrix view -- certainly helped me to
forget about programs which can do it!
