Hi, My name is Hugo
I am am using Sonar Platinum update 2017.03, (really great, by the way!), and Cakewalk products since 1992 at least!
I (humildyly) consider myself an advanced user of Sonar in general.
I hope you please excuse my english and understand my writing anyway!
My OS is windows 10, 8GB ram, and I am working with a lap top Dell latitude E5430.
I am a chorus director and a musical arrangments composer, and I use the staff-view a lot for writing the arrangment parts for the singers, before sending them in midi form for them to learn them.
That´s why the following is really important for my job, and mainly because with the old Sonar 5 Producer I have been using since the last years until now, I had none of this problemas!
So...I´ve detected those bugs in the staff view in Sonar Platinum 2017.03 (at least that´s whats seems to me, after a lot of hours trying of solving them by myself!)
Bug number 1- What I ve found is that there is an overlap betwen the lyrics notation and the expression notation ,( which sould be under the former). Well, the fact is that if you increase the font of the lyrics writing, you get an overlap.
By the way...I´ve just jumped from Sonar 5 Producer to Platinun (I love sonar 5 producer because it is really solid rocck!!) and that issue was not present in 5 producer.
Bug number 2 -At the same time, another bug with the staff view is taht there is no way to get the fonts in italic in any of the writings (lyrics, expresions, etc) The font just dont change when you select Italics from the seleccion dialog in the edit layout. That was working too in sonar 5 producer. I have no idea how was it in the versions betwen sonar 5 producer and platinum, because i never used them.
Bug number 3- when you select the Lyrics button in the staff view for start writing the words of the song, you get a shadow all over the staff leaving in white just the area where the lyrics shoud be written, ok? Well, if you scroll the view , just for going to other staff, (in multi-staff view, for example), the shadow mask dont move with it !! So, you get the mask and the lines of the staff really out of coincidence!!
Summarizing... Please, take a look at this problems and let me know if there is any posibility of solution in some near future, or if I should go back to use my old and loved Sonar 5 Producer....
Thanks in advance and ...here i am for any question regarding all of the above.
