CAL !!! Keep it, improve it, get some documentation, and address tempo and meter change

After buying sonar x3 I was so disgusted with it [edit] that I sought another solution. [edit]   But surprise, there are things that can only be done in cal, so I'm back, for the moment, using both.     CAL is a treasure. 

This looks like the final word on CAL http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/1886369
 
The most complete documentation about the functions that I have found is in a CHM included with CAL Editor available here http://www.softpedia.com/...itors/CAL-Editor.shtml

I use a few CAL scripts all the time.
- For finding MIDI note velocity ranges
- set max and min value for a range of MIDI note velocities
- increase or decrease a selection of MIDI note velocities by x amount.
 
I've got them bound to shortcut keys (F2 F3 F4) and use them all the time ;-)

I began making a list of what was better in Sonar than Cubase (the only other daw I'm using recently).  It was depressingly short, but CAL was at the very top.    Seemingly silly little thing like the Selection Module, even though it doesn't work quite right any more, came next.   I like seeing the Performance Module.   Drawing tempos still works better than the competition though not quite as well as it used to.    I don't think I can get to 5.  
 
Things that are worse, all new with X and Platinum:   I have to use "big time" in order to see the time elapsed and bars/beats at the same time.  Have to see the word Multidock and its big ugly bar taking up a big chunk of vertical space.  Can't enter a note with a click and then adjust it with a drag in PRV.  Can't directly enter a program number in the EL without triggering a poorly designed dialog box.   Have to look at things that have no relevance for my work in order to see things that are relevant.  (Do I really need to know the bit depth at every moment?)   The snap function no longer works intuitively, without having to fuss with it.   The Tools require constant reaching for the keyboard during mouse use.  And the biggest time waster of them all, deleting controller lanes from the PRV in order to use one controller.    Oh, yes, the since-forever window idiom of using ALT plus the Menu Letter to get to a menu no longer works from most areas, since they had the bright idea of having kinda-menus in most windows.      Alt-P used to be one of my most used key-strokes, for length, transposition, scale velocity, etc.
