Yup! Take another look at the little icons for each track in the track list pane, that looks like a pair of 1/8 notes.  You can enable or disable the view of the notes in that track.  So you can either see all tracks side by side in color coded fashion, or select just one or more part(s) when selecting notes to edit.

I actually spotted the Hide and Lock buttons in the Track Pane right after that. LOL :)
Noted!
 
Alright! I believe this will make the work a lot easier. As you also said in your post, part of the task is learning how the DAW works and adapting to that. I just knew there was an easier way to select a track and finally wondered, "How does everybody select a track!?" (After all, I don't record any instruments, I do all straight note editing from PRV.)
 
I used Voyetra Digital Orchestrator back in '96, and once I purchased Cakewalk Music Creator, I knew the interface would be much different... :)

Hey, that's a big LOL!!!  I found Voyetra Digital Orchestrator on sale at Computer City, way back then.  It was my first DAW, and my first regrettable software purchase.  It looked cool though, LOL!
 
That is why I bought Cakewalk Professional 6, and have never looked back!  My buddy was so traumatized, that he bought a dedicated hard disk recorder, and has stuck with that for 20 years! 
 
Good luck with Artist, I'm sure you will like it!

Thank you very much! :)
 
I used DO until '03, and then I was drawn to Cakewalk's products ten years later. Albeit challenging, I don't want that to disrupt the realization of my ideas, because it's the most amazing DAW I've ever used. I also later purchased Digital Sound Factory's 19-pack of instruments...and that's another story. I don't want to overwhelm myself in instrument selection and drum kits, so to make it easier, I simply dropped Roland GrooveSynth, DropZone and Rapture Sessions from my radar in favor of Sound Center, Studio Instruments, and TTS-1. (BUT...that's just me.)
 
Now considering my work is mainly PRV note editing (I cannot read/write music), I can imagine my projects will take that much longer. But I'm slowly but surely learning how to accommodate the Sonar interface to my style and make everything as straightforward as possible.
 
Speaking of convenience and simplicity, I also enjoy the option to change to the classic color scheme (Tungsten was too dark), color-coding the Tracks, and creating my own Plug-in Layout (per the Insert-Soft Synth menu)... :)

Thanks again for your guys' help! :)

CHUCKEBABY:
In the image I posted, that right-click menu indeed came from the Track Pane clips work area. It dropped downward from where my mouse pointer was.

I have no idea what you have going on in the track field in the main TV are. it almost appears as if you have the edit filter turned to inline PRV view for all these tracks, which is a bit baffling to be honest considering you appear to want to work on these tracks in the PRV. (in the MD)
 
TV is normally black or grey when there is no data. those tracks should be blank, and when right clicking on an empty area in the TV you should get a pop up context menu with many different options / including views.
