Aside from the very small issue I have with the new PRV and selection overall its a great PRV. 
 
First I can now see the darn thing. Before the notes were very small on my display now it has a very useful zoom range. 
 
Then it has made the controller lanes attractive and much better to use.
 
They brought back the pattern brush.
 
Its a much nicer place to work. 
 
Well done CW!! Now just fix the selection bug and I will be extremely happy.  

But in the Drum Grid Pane the horizontal zoom with mousewheel and cntr/alt keys still does not work. In PRV it works like in the Track View

I have a question.....I have a old project that I did when I was using Home Studio or Music Creator...the PRV still comes up as the old style in the project ( little bars instead of blocks ) my more recent projects come up as they should, is there something in the settings I need to mess with for the older projects?

That sounds odd Keneds. Perhaps if you save to a new folder and then load it that might cure it.

I can't agree, John. Pattern Brush and minor cosmetics aside, I haven't noticed anything new here that I couldn't do in X3, and that includes "enjoying" all the preference recall bugs that have plagued this since the X series began.
Oh, except there are a few more bugs.

I agree. love it. (and I stare at it for hours per project)

Here are a few core editing features that have been introduced in the new version. I find them to be pretty useful:

Nothing huge. But the PRV is getting some love.

Hi Bill-

Thanks-

I had to edit it. Should work now.

I confess I didn't understand the "relative velocity scaling" before I saw this video. I thought we already had this in X3 and I didn't "get" why it was considered new. But I see from the video how the mouse position allows you to scale across the notes from "low vel" to "high vel". I can see how that can be useful.
 
Also, the "grab and stretch" didn't really excite me either when I saw it in the Overview video, but the tuplet demo actually makes sense.
 
So I take back what I said: I definitely appreciate the attention the PRV is getting.
To me, this means that NOW is the time for us to reproduce those long-standing PRV display bugs and submit them to the Problem Reporter tool, because there is actually a chance they will be addressed. (not meaning to sound snarky here)
