I believe Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven might have decided to use another DAW for their notation.  Brahms would be here in the forum complaining

When he wasn't spending time with his "lady friends..."

Is that admiration or disdain?  

 
 
I think we've become self-aware.

Actually, more like envy...

Have an upvote here.
 
I would add: it is unrealistic to expect CW to develop a staff view that can crush Sibelus or Notion or DP right off the bat. It's understandable how they want to work on things that appeal to the bigger public (even tho I suspect more people would use Sonar if the notation facilities were better implemented).
Having said that, it wouldn't take too much to take what they already have and make the workflow a bit better. Having floating toolbars with note durations, etc instead of having to dig through too many mouseclicks would be a MASSIVE improvement imho. A little goes a long way!
If you also add functioning dynamic markings you have something that's really good there.
Bonus thought (a man can dream! :) ): If you let us create a set of rules that let us assign key switches to technique changes you'll have a unique function (to my knowledge no DAW does that) that I'm sure will add several new users to the Sonar flock.
 

Hi,
I found a post in the presonus forum (studio one) where's somebody was surprised, that presonus made a deal with notion and not cakewalk. In the past, Cakewalk made deals with notion and you could bought it in the cakewalk shop. But it seems that it was more important for presonus to get closer with notion than it was for cakewalk.
 
I hope cakewalk is not barking up the wrong tree and they will turn the corner.
 
Kind regards, Timo

It wouldn't have been Cakewlak but Roland who owned Cakewalk at that time, which explains why it was only a sales relationship than a coding one.

Hello Mike,
 
you are right. I forgot that with Roland.
No matter, it is sad, that nothing happend with with cakewalk from this relationship.

You guys don't get it.  They have stated that the most you can ever hope for is bug fixes - maybe.  There will be no more functionality and they won't even bring back functions they've removed.  This is their MO for decades.  It will not change.  Notation is not important to Cakewalk.

Hello,
I hope you are wrong and Cakewalk recognize the importance of notation for music.
For me, that is the only important thing which is really missing in sonar.
Apart from that, I will once take a short look at Studio One, since I learned that they have now Notion in their company and they will intend to integrate main functions in Studio One.
