Now that your standard start template has been messed up....
If you are like me you have a start template set up how you like things to be when you just open up Sonar rather than opening a new project or using a pre-made template.
The new update has probably robbed you of that file and you get a basic "all on one screen" thing come up. If you find your old template (mine was called "Normal") or re-create it, if you save it as a template overwriting the new one called "Basic" you will find you can open Sonar to how you like it just by dismissing the new start screen.
If the above means nothing to you then you don't work the same way as I do!
Grum.

Hi. I still have my Normal.cwt unchanged. It was made in september 2013, and has not been altered through any of my updates (including Hopkinton). Sorry for your loss. I keep a copy of mine on an external drive, just in case (still not needed to replace it).
Best of luck.

If you use a non-default project template folder location, nothing gets changed unless you change it.

So it seems my new version of Sonar is unique in changing the default template from "Normal" to "Basic".
Interesting...

You can change the default template in the Start Screen by clicking the star in the upper left of the template icon

You can also set the default from the new start screen. At New From Template, click the really hard to see little start upper left of the template you want to be the default

My "Normal" template was also renamed "Basic", but otherwise it is the same. Given that the templates display alphabetically, it is probably a handy thing.

I would have done that years ago but the update either over-wrote the template I created or changed the default. Anyway, I've got it to work how I want it after being a bit thrown by it being changed. Grum.

It would be better if it was called "Aardvark"  Grum.

Before the vein of gold in this mine is all tapped out, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a simple way to combine two of the new templates - say, all of the Songwriter Showcase plus all of the Vocal Showcase template.
I'd then save the combined result as my go-to template.
Thanks in advance for any time-saving tips!

Since Songwriter uses default colors and has a tiny bit of data, this may be the fastest way to merge the two. Open Songwriter project template, select all tracks and save it as a track template. Then open the Vocal Showcase and insert the Songwriter track template you just saved, then copy the MIDI data and add the markers.

Thank you, scook ! That sounds like a very logical plan. Off to give it a whirl :)
