Is there a way to quantize at 64th note or 64th triplet in Sonar XL? There is some percussion I need to sit on the tip. I need some tinier pulls than 32 triplet without having to "micro edit" each note.
 
Too bad, Cakewalk/Sonar doesn't have quantize to 64th. But if you need to quantize to this value, you can modify the way you do the song. By quntizing, I assume you do MIDI things, right ? then if there's no audio track (yet), you can double the tempo. Then you fit all tracks to double spaced it's original. If there's audio tracks, export all MIDI tracks to new project to do this. Hmm... lets say :

Original song : 100 bars on tempo 80.

Then fit all tracks to 200 bars on tempo 160.

By doing this, you can make quantize 32th to feel like 64.

After that, fit the 200 bars back to 100, and pull the tempo back to 80. Import the result to original -audio contains- project. Did it help ? ;)

I haven`t done it yet, but it does make sense. Halving the bar length, a 32 step would become a 64. I`ll rename a copy and try it on that. It sounds like a pioneer idea if it works.

I understand you, but getting it to happen here is a chore. I'm still extreme rookie with all that Sonar can do. 'not giving up yet.
 
I think I found an easier way to do what i was looking for.

opening the piano roll window and increasing the view until you can see daylight around the note and using snap to 32nd triplet with the particular persussion instrument highlighted all the way across the score will set most the notes right on the edge of the hair, if any are hung inside the grid you can move those very few with the mouse. Perhaps snap to grid will do it anyways but i like to see it there, and hear it.
