one thing about take lanes......

The problem, I think, is that the lane height cannot be minimized because the field takes so much space.

I'm with you, RogerH, I like the notefield too.
 
If I'm tracking a vocalist I keep "take sheets" with the lyric on, and boxes for each take of each line to tick or cross etc,. as I go along.
 
The notefields alow me to do something similar after the event, particularly if I'm if I'm not going to comp straight away.  It can save a lot of time sifting through them all at a later date.
 
The take lanes still exhibit a few oddities, but on the whole I like them a lot.

Yes, having the note field can be handy, but do we really need that much space dedicated and frozen? I think it would be fine to have the ability to store large notes but ony the "need" to see the beginning of each without opening it so that we wouldn't have to give up so much space. If this field was smaller it would be easy to stack all the other controls in a single height/row and thusly be able to have smaller minimum footprint....

There is very little that I like about Lanes but I won't dig into that yet again here. I'm sure most of you have seen some of my ranting/posts...

But I will add a feature or two to Karl's list of "Would Like To See" which of course my comment above is one...

How about having the new lanes created during recording automatically show themselves on screen instead of always forcing me to have to re-size the screen to see what I just recorded! <sigh>.... Yet another annoyance to me...

And there's still the "biggie" which Karl I guess doesn't have need for...

A button to display Lanes within a track instead of below a track!! (Where are my Layers when I need them)...

Every time I have to record/edit a new track I get miffed about Lanes all over again and yesterday was such a day...

<sigh>...
