How to move end of event that is under the top one?

Tempo detection is not working for me yet so I am doing it manually. I have recorded drums without a click. Set click to desired tempo and manually cut at transients and moved hits to correct place in whole song (group edit). Now I am setting crossfades.

Bad terminology starts now:

When hit is early and I move to right, I have a gap: easy to move event to left to overlap for easy crossfade. When a hit is late and I move left, it overlaps the previous: I have to move the event on right start point over to get to the tab that moves the overlap from the left event so that I can crossfade without cutting into the next event.

I told ya.

Is there a way to grab the end of the event that is underneath the overlapping one without moving the start of the one that is in the right place? I know I can double click and do it in the editor, but that only does the one track. I need all tracks in the group edit folder to be moved at once.

There has to be something really stupid I am missing here.

Any suggestions here other than RTFM or give up?

I just need to get through this until I learn to either get auto quantize to work for me, or just make the friggen drummer play with a click.

I know this probably made no sense. Rep to anyone who actually understands my question!

In Cubase 5, Hold shift and right click the overlapping part and there's a "move to" option or something like that (sorry cant remember the name) so you can chose which one should be on top.
 
You Rule! Works in 6 too.

Can't give you rep again yet. No like button.

Howz a thank you?

Thank you!

No Problem. I'm not sure why they buried that menu. You used to beable to just right click.
 
I neither. Though I think that can be changed in preferences.

I posted a CL add looking for a Cubase guru to come give me a crash course in drum quantization in Cubase 6. Got a few replies. Hoping to master the process this week. :)
