Hmmm...if you don't want me to tell you to RTFM,and you don't want advice from the other posters,then I'll chip in,but I'll be careful not to get blasted by you.
Here you go:
LE Manual,page 112:
"Dividing MIDI Regions
Click on the Scissors (see “The Tools” on page 18) in the Toolbox. Now click-hold on the desired MIDI Region(s). The help tag shows the current mouse position. When you release the mouse button, all selected MIDI Regions are cut at the position shown in the help tag. The grid is based on the Display Format value. This value is displayed and is adjustable in the Transport window, just below the Time Signature indicator.If any notes overlap other notes by more than a 1/16 note, the following dialog will
appear on-screen:
Overlapping Notes found! Do you want to keep, to shorten or to split those?
Keep (default) leaves all notes unaltered. The MIDI Region is cut as usual, but when you do this, you can end up with notes in the left-hand half that are much longer than the MIDI Region containing them. Such notes will play normally, unless “Clip Length” is set to On, which cuts off all sustaining notes at the end of a MIDI Region. Shorten truncates all overlapping notes, so that they end at the point where the MIDI Region was divided.
Split divides overlapping notes across the two MIDI Regions created when a cut is made; two notes are created, with the same pitch and velocity as the original, and with the same total length as the original note."
Also,please,help yourself to this one too:
LEManual page 140:
"MIDI and Audio Regions Compared
The following overview sums up the main differences between Audio and MIDI Regions. There are some notes at the bottom of the table to clarify the most important points.Naturally, some of the parameters that can be applied to MIDI events have no effect on audio signals. Equivalent operations for most of these are available as destructive edit operations in the Sample Edit window.

Yes Yes,creates a new Audio Region. "
And,to top it off,here's a great heaping helping:
LEManual, page 34
"Selecting Several Objects
To select several non-contiguous objects, hold down Shift as you click them. As
subsequent objects or events are selected, the previous selections are retained. This
also works with horizontal or rubber band selection.
Selecting Regions/Events Within the Locators (Vertical Selection)
Edit > Select Inside Locatorsselects all Regions/events lying wholly or partly inside the locator positions."
So,the answer to your query as to if there IS or IS NOT cutting along 15 trakcs in a VERTICAL way,is YES ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!
