Ranked Staff View fix request list

I believe this is the list Craig took to Cake, but cake haven't publicly responded to it.
 
1.  Ensure that the snap-function works correctly.  When selecting a 16th note, the snap should move by that amount (with an override option of course).   Same with all note values.   Now, a smaller note value will cancel out Sonar's ability to snap to larger note values.
 
2.  Tied and dotted triplets, 32nd note triplets and 64th notes should display correctly.
 
3.  When screensets are used and switched back and forth, the order of the instruments in the staff view track pane becomes confused.
 
4.  When trying to open a note's properties when that note is on the first space or below the the staff, it doesn't always work easily.
 
5 . Note icons back in SV

This is intended to be an extension of that list, compiled from a larger group of users with a stake in Staff View.

The snap needs to be independent of note duration. If it isn't, you would never be able to enter a series of dotted eighth notes or a half note on 2. Fixing the problem as suggested above would break it even worse that it is now.

I agree Tom. I was posting the list of 5 things that Craig took to cake, if you look at the post I took this from, you'll see I also said the same thing

I took a quick look at staff view today.    It's better, maybe, than it used to be, but there is so much that just looks bad.   These things are not on your list, but they are what anyone who is accustomed to music scores sees instantly.  
 
Beams:  always flat
Enharmonics: frequently wrong, and not easy to change (the only way I found is to call up the Note Properties dialog, highlight the pitch field, and type in the correct name.)
Stem length: for notes with ledger lines, comically short.
 
Interface things:
-- That flashing thing that shows where your mouse pointer is, in time, notes, and midi number?    Good grief.  I can see a beginner liking it, but I really do not want a flashing thing that is fixed in place and does not follow the cursor.    Could not find a way to disable it.  
-- Need the option to have staff names 'float' ... it's completely impractical to go back to the beginning to remind yourself which is the trumpet and which the horn; likewise key signatures and perhaps time signatures need a float option. 
 
More subtle things, one could live with them:
-- Spacing is pretty crude, vertical and horizontal. 
-- Combine tracks onto a staff?  This may be possible, but I didn't see a way to do it.   Very helpful in compressing an instrument, divided up in order to get articulations, but back together for the musical line. 
-- "hairpin" the only option for the hundreds of things one might put into a score .. 
-- "pedal" for all tracks, even the trumpets and horns? 
 -- the horizontal band under staves ... is that for placement of dynamics and hairpins?  very bad idea.  And it appears that once it is put on, it won't go away.    Consider this: staff lines are horizontal lines, there are five of them.    With those bands, two more are placed in 'ledger-line' area ... making for a very hard to read version of even a simple score.
 
 
 

I've received one list at this point.  I guess the list Anderton got in one of the other threads has what folks are looking for most, so there is little interest in going thru this exercise.
 
Here's the list I received in case any Staff View users are interested:
 

1. Fix triplets! (Actually more correctly called "tuplets.").
 
2. Be able to print a score where each page has only the instruments actually playing at that time, so there are not, like, ten empty instrument tracks on each page, with a gazillion rests!
 
3. Sometimes you can't insert a dynamic marking, like mf or mp, under the staff, because apparently there is not enough room.
 
4. Be able to add octave markings, like this:    .........8v.  This signifies that the passage is to be played an octave lower or higher (I did not notate this exactly due to limitations of the keyboard - there should also be lines that indicate up or down). Doing this prevents the use of excessive ledger lines.
 
 5. Be able to bracket groups of like instruments. Woods, brass, strings, percussion all form mini sections within the orchestra, and it is traditional to bracket them off for easier reading.
 
6. Allow the user to choose where slur lines should be. This is done to indicate bowing in stringed music, and phrasing in wind instruments.
 
7. Add little abbreviations like:  Tr........  This indicates a trill. Actually, it should be a wavy line, but dots will do. This allows you to notate a trill with just one note, instead of like twenty!
 
8. Tremelos: they are abbreviated by placing horizontal lines through the note sten. One line means you play the note twice, two lines means you play it four times, etc.
 
9. Harmonic indicattions: On strings and harp, (and sometimes flutes), the player plays harmonic notes, which guitarists are very familiar with. the notes sound an ocatve or more higher. they are indicated by placing little circles over the notes heads.
 
10. Be able to add wedges to show an agressive attack on a note. Similarly, be able to show string bowings as up or down.
