    I'm doing this this way:

    1. I assigned a shortcut to the MIDI Editor

    2. then turn Snap on and move the beginning of the unselcted note to the right. You can even leave the other note selected, it will not be moved

    I also added this command to the Navigate menue

    Hmmmmmmmmmm I did the first step that you shown to put the edit cursor at the end of the first note

    that helped me to manually drag the note below it at a more precise point easier so that each note starts where the other begins

    but i don't thing it snaps with snapping mode on if its not on the grid

    does urs snap on the edit cursor with snap on?

    Yep, it snaps immediately

    Sorry, I accidentally swapped the selection, but I assure you it works even when the first note is selected and the second not.
