Correct Timing Inaccuracies (Quantize)

Quantize is a function that corrects the timing of notes to a specified resolution.

For example even if you intend to play at quarter-note timing, the notes may be slightly earlier or later than precise quarter-note intervals. In such cases, you can quantize to quarter note (1/4) timing to adjust the timing of the notes to precise quarter-note intervals.
