You're much better off doing that kind of thing in "editable notation mode". In your second row of icons, the one that starts with T, B and C7 a few more icons to the right is a quarter note in black. Click on that and it opens up your notation window. There's a menu bar right below your piano keyboard display that says Notation-track number (whatever track you have highlighted). Right below that are 3 little icons, first is notation, the next is editable notation and the third one is staff roll mode. Those last two are what you need. Start with the middle one, editable notation. See the box that displays note names based on where your mouse is located. On the staff for example if you put your mouse on the C space, that box says C. If you are above or below the staff with no lines, the box will still tell you what note you're on. Just left click and it inserts the note. Don't worry about the timing just yet. When you click on the next note, it will automatically adjust the timing or if you're only editing what is already there, then you put your mouse on the note and just move it to where you want or delete it and put the mouse where you want it and left click to reinsert it. To really fine tune the note durations, go into staff roll mode. There you see the same notes with green horizontal lines. Those lines are the note durations and you click on those lines to change that. All of this is way better than using the piano roll for note entry and timing editing. The piano roll is best suited for editing midi events, like changing controllers, velocity, pitch bend or maybe deleting all the Ab's or changing all the Ab's to A natural in one shot, etc.
