You can specify a gap or overlap for this function with the “Legato Overlap” setting
in the Preferences dialog (Editing–MIDI page).
When using Legato with this setting, each note will be extended to end 5 ticks before the
next note.
When you activate “Legato Mode: Between Selected Notes Only”, the length of the
note will be adjusted so that it reaches the next selected note, allowing you to apply
Legato only to your bass line, for example.
NOTE
You can also apply a legato using the “Scale Length/Legato” slider in the MIDI
editors.

Fixed Lengths
This function resizes all selected notes to the length set with the Length Quantize
pop-up menu on the MIDI editor toolbar.
Pedals to Note Length
This function scans for Sustain pedal on/off events, lengthens the affected notes to
match the Sustain pedal off position, and then removes the Sustain Controller
on/off events.
Delete Overlaps (mono)
This function allows you to make sure that no notes of the same pitch overlap (i. e.
that one starts before the other ends). Overlapping notes of the same pitch can
confuse some MIDI instruments (a new Note On is transmitted before the Note Off
is transmitted). This command can then be used to automatically solve the problem.
Delete Overlaps (poly)
This function shortens notes when required, so that no note begins before another
ends. This happens regardless of which pitch the notes have.
