None.  Your options are: None.

Apart from copying the segment somewhere else and quantizing that,
but obviously that's no kind of answer.

However, this should fairly shortly change.  Let me write up an
email about what I'm proposing to do with the notation in the next
few weeks, and then we can discuss that.

The timebase is 960ppq.  So bar 9 actually starts at 30720, which
means in fact both of the notes start before the barline -- it's
just that RG has already done the tiny quantization necessary to
push the second one into the next bar, while the first is just
that bit too far away.

There is no direct conversion from the timebase numbers to real
time -- it depends on all of the tempo changes that occur before
the time in question.  We always store times in ppq and convert
them to real-time based on the tempo data when we play them.

Nah, that just sets the default value of the Smoothing slider,
so if the Smoothing slider does nothing for you (as usual), nor
will that.
