Steve,
You are right.
It is a poor excuse though. Like some govt agency telling you you used the wrong form.
I had forgotten about the voting thing myself and I don't think a lot of forum users even know about it.
So let's use the proper channel and see what happens.
Thanks for taking the time to vote.
 
 

 
What I don't understand is that Cakewalk would undoubtedly make more sales if they had a proper Staff View.
 
There are lot more musicians in the world who can read notation than can read a PRV.
 

I give up ... I was not speaking about a fully-blown and public distributable immaculate sheet music printout.  All I need is a basic "handout" print-off which is given to musicians and then discussed (and manually corrected) before recording.  I could accept what is currently available in SONAR .. IF it printed correctly (e.g. triplets).  But there could be further enhancements, not just bug fixes, and I have voted on most of the ones submitted.
Thanks to all who added their requests.

And I can't distribute PRVs !!

Just voted and will add some more when I'm home.  Count me in on the clueless of the "voting" thing.

That's what I get from your posts, which is why I thought it would make sense if Cakewalk made the SV functional for the majority of users who need SV, and not worry about making the "staff view to end all staff views." They're too far behind in that race to catch up, without a lot of additional resources.

Thank you so much Craig - at least someone understands me :-)

And I very much doubt that the other folks are asking for more than that either sonartist...so don't alienate your support for this.

I don't see a lot of pie in the sky request type posts here. Most are quite reasonable and involve fixing issues with SV that have been ignored for what 9-10 years.
For people who want Finale or Sibelius like functionality...Fix the MusicXML export and add musicXML import so they can use either of these or whatever their favorite notation program happens to be.
Here is a list of music software that supports musicXML. It shows whether each program supports export only, import only or both import/export.

Some of the programs with full musicXML support I have never even heard of and some I consider to be toys. Somehow though, they managed to do it.

Agreed.  Most of the people asking for updates, etc are careful to state this. But it seems that there are some people (who generally don't use SV) who do need to chime in and say that CW should not spend all it's resources on a full on Sib/Finale competitor - implying or thinking that's what we want.
 
But as was said - glad Craig gets it. I think we're trying to be clear enough.
