Lining up tracks.

 You should have been able to just highlite the section and drag it to where you want it. The + and - buttons at the top left of the edit window allow zooming out (to highlite a whole section) and then zooming in to get exact locations for sliding the audio.
If it 'wouldn't line up perfect' try setting your resolution higher in the Options pulldown. You can set it to get a very precise setting if you want...then you can move things exactly where you want them..

Quick run through on how I do it-
Mark the point where the first vocal track starts (or where you want the second one to line up with it). Note the location in the 'Now' box.
Go to the track you want to move, open the edit window and highlite the section you want to slide (zoom out if you need to)
Now zoom in so you can see the beginning of the track and make sure the 'Now' setting is exactly where you want it by typing in the information into the Now window if necessary. Hold ctrl and grab the track with the mouse pointing right were the vocal starts, slide the mouse over to the cursor that's marking the 'Now' target point and let go..

 
BTW, tempo does affect the resolution. Sixty thousand milliseconds in a minute.
Divide that by the tempo, then divide the result by the resolution to see how accurately the MIDI is getting written and read in ms (effectively quantizing a miniscule amount).
Example- tempo 120
60000 divided by 120 = 500 milliseconds per beat.
Say the resolution is 120 and the midi is being handled in cycles that are 4 ms long. 500 divided by 120 = 4.16 ms

If the resolution were at 960, the midi would be written and read in much smaller .5 ms cycles. Meaning the performance would be recorded and played back much more accurately. 500 divided by 960 = .52 ms
Keep in mind that the midi has to be recorded at the higher resolution in order to hear it.

This setting also controls the size of the chunks we can edit in audio. I don't know why this is, I guess the whole audio editing scheme is laid out to work in midi timecode. If you zoom in enough in an audio edit window you'll see that you can grab a much smaller piece of audio (or grab the beginning) much easier and more accurately at resolution of 1920 than you can at 120. I usually use a higher setting here, so I can zero right in on exact locations. 

rharve, I had looked thru the docs and didn't find anything on "move a selection" but I discovered you have to also hold down the ctrl key while moving the selected area to make it work. I found this after reading the above post of yours, Thanks
