I though it had more to do with fitting notes to a tempo.  Like when
something is recorded but could use a bit of help to be tight to the
tempo.  Anyways, I'm pretty sure Seq24 does that (not used it
personally).

No. Dave is right. What you are referring to, I have just discovered, is sometimes called "grid quantise".

Here is a good explanation of how groove quantise works in protools: http://www.audiomidi.com/classroom/protools_corner/ptcorner_63.cfm

For some really fancy midi stuff going way further than groove quantise, you could take a look at some of Ntonyx's products, such as StyleEnhancer and StyleMorpher. If Rosegarden could implement some of those features that would be very useful for composers.
