I have no idea, but I am curious.  I am responding to Craig Anderton's post about CW's priorities.  I realize that CW's priorities are not to upgrade, enhance, develop or improve the staff view, that is obvious.  But what really seems wrong is that CW won't even fix bugs that impact the staff view on the most basic level:  Fixing the snap functions so that the snap consistently follows the note value, that has always worked correctly until X1, X2 and X3.  They know it is a problem yet won't fix it.  I am not asking for anything beyond that, I know that is too much to ask.  But the snap function is pretty basic to midi editing and the staff view is a midi editor, you'd think they'd care about that.  And what else is wrong is that CW says with every new upgrade and new version "we'll get to the staff view in the future.  Stop telling us that, please.   Just stop.

I was following that thread and I'm going to guess it was deleted because it got too personal. There was politics and insults and words were exchanged that you can't take back, although forum moderators can delete 'em.

The ratio of politics to non-politics exceeded the amount needed to trigger the delete-o-meter.

I suspect that Craig himself may have pulled it realising it was not helping. Speculation is just that. I'm sure if we need to know we'll be told. Other than that it's not my business as are so many things.

In this new era of transparency why can't Cakewalk at least tell us WHY they have abandoned Staff View. That would go a long long way toward stopping all the speculation.
JG, haven't you noticed, CW staff are pretty much absent from any threads about Staff View.
Were they told not to respond? Or are they just embarrassed? We may never know, unless CW decides to start talking about it.
What is obvious is they have not worked on it in way too many years, and do not have any current plans to work on it. That is all we have heard.

It was the right thing to do. It really got heated.

That question was answered by Bill Jackson from Cakewalk. You'll have to find the thread yourself though as I don't remember which one it was in but a fair bet would be the one where notation was discussed.

Here's the thread post #11

I renamed the subject title in order to facilitate a Sonar discussion.
