just to clarify, what i meant by looking at the waveform is that it does allow you to see exactly where and when notes start and end. which is exactly what the OP's first shot showed. i find that useful when i want to make sure i don't cut off the beginning or end of a phrase when it doesn't exactly line up with DAW bar lines.

nudging a phrase a few ticks so that it starts exactly on a bar line when that isn't what the musician played seems to me to be unnecessary and counterproductive.

i agree with Matt that your ears should be the judge not the minutiae of bar lines and i find the wave forms useful in achieving that. i use RB and have never found a problem cutting and pasting to create a composite solo or to correct a phrase i didn't like with one from elsewhere in the track.
