Cakewalk has no tool for doing multiple splits at once like that.  But it's pretty quick and easy to split a note (or multiple selected notes of a chord) multiple times using Alt+Click with snap enabled at an appropriate resolution.

There used to be a "split every..." Command in a menu somewhere. I think it' still available - not in front of CbB to check though.

I was going to reply with something similar - i.e. using Split Clips with the new "Split Notes" option, however multiple splits are limited to 1 measure as the smallest value for multiple splits.

The only other alternative would be to write a CAL script.

Yeh I got it it's cool but when I have to split notes into 4 or 8 parts each note must have same proproption then what can I do if I used this way  then i am not able to split notes  with same proportion accurately ? By the way thank you

Snap should take care of that unless the note start time and length is random. I haven't ever needed a function like that, so not sure what goal is, except maybe to create a glitch effect...?

Drawing a series of notes with the pattern tool in the first place might be a better approach. Or using Step Sequencer...?

You need to set Snap  to the desired value. Then you´ll get perfectly cut notes.

By the way, notice that  if you set Snap to Ticks, you can cut your notes in almost any length.

CAL scripts are typically created in Notepad  - the best way to learn is probably to take one of the existing CAL scripts and modify it.   A more comprehensive guide is available here:
http://members.ziggo.nl/t.valkenburgh/Cakewalk Application Language Programming Guide.pdf

The supplied CAL scripts can be found here:

C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\CAL Scripts

You probably want to look at DOUBLE.CAL ( which has examples of creating new notes) and LEGATO.CAL (which covers editing notes).
