Think maybe I'll get some T-shirts printed- nah- there'll never be enough people interested to make it payoff.

Who knows.  Maybe if the streets of Boston were crawling with people wearing "Fix Staff View" T-shirts, it might have an effect.

Hate to think what "staff view" might mean to the non-daw public.

Here's a design. The front of the shirt says, at the top " I HAVE A" (and a picture of a really bad staff view emblazoned across the chest just under that) and under the picture it says  "STAFF INFECTION!". Boy, this thread is really getting stupid now.

I couldn't agree more with Jerry Gerber. I am a longtime user  since my Music Creator days. All my reports of frustration with staff view have been patently ignored. Some complaints seem like they would be so easy to fix with just changing one line of code. I stick around (Sonar Platinum with lifetime updates) but I think some new bugs in staff popped up with the latest update.  It's like Cakewalk is tearing off pieces of staff to feed to the PRV bunch!

Not this thread again.  Sidroe you have created a monster.
I guess this may be a monster issue then. Hmmm
Cake, are you really listening, there must be some way to end this thread.

Lack of a proper staff view is kind of a pity... I've just written a track for a friend's wedding. It's a simple piano piece. And I merely want to play it live with some printed notes and instructions in front of me, on the Grand. And perhaps also give this "book" to her as one of the wedding gifts. I recorded the track almost entirely from my keyboard. With minor edits in the piano roll. And you guessed it, the current notation is a total mess. It's absolutely useless as it is right now.
 
And I can well imagine the pain of those composing orchestrated music, e.g. for OSTs, only to get to the point they can't really pass it to a real orchestra for playing cause the current staff view is hardly even a piece of sheet.

I thought this thread was dead. Now it looks as if it may head into rarefied territory, the land of 1,000 posts.

The only thing more stupid than the length of this thread is the necessity for it, still without resolution.

And I thought Cakewalk has recently claimed they listen to their user demands, so there's hope this thread will get gone for good as the problem finally gets addressed soon enough.

WOW! I started this thread with no idea it would take on a life of it's own. I was STUNNED to see it is back but saddened that it made a comeback! I almost posted a new thread when there was so much hub-bub about the BIG announcement, hoping that a fix for notation was part of that event. I thought better of that because this thread got so huge and the responses got so heated sometimes.
Oh, well. I have given up on that fix coming down the road anytime, much less soon! I hope I am wrong!
