Adjust -> Quantize -> Fix Notation Quantization will set the "performed" 
timing values to match the "displayed" values.

Of course the name of this function is not very helpful if you in fact 
generated the performed values via Interpret instead of generating the 
displayed ones via Notation Quantize.  Maybe I should duplicate it as 
Un-Interpret.  Same function twice.  Ugh.

The Duration Factor in the View menu is a display setting only (it 
controls how close the spacing should be to proportional with the note 
durations -- e.g. at 100%, minims get twice the space of crotchets).

gui/notationcommands.cpp:1762.  The value is applied at 1791.

Yes, that's exactly what happens.  There probably was a reason for it 
once upon a time, but it's not very good, is it?
