The track height is easily adjustable. (all at once or 1 at a time)
EuCon ? not sure really but Midi CC has never been a problem here.
in fact I much prefer it over some of the other DAWs out there.

Yes indeed, I did find the height adjuster - the point is Sonar cannot go narrow enough, it's limit is way too wide for me.
 
Its a real shame no DAW has followed Cubase's lead on controlling midi CCs by EuCon - not even Pro Tools, owned by Avid, can do it.

Sonar or any other DAW's minimum track height is about as small as one can go before there is nothing there anymore. Every DAW has there positives and negatives.
Its a shame Cubase doesn't have ARA, but like I said, every DAW has its positives and negatives.
 
Doesn't make it any better or any worse. We just pick the DAW that fits our needs that's all :-)
good luck in the future.

Hi, Guy!  nice to see you over here from VI Control... there are a few other threads on this which I've responded to...in this sector of the forum... might wanna take a look as there are a lot of other differences than track sizing.  I too wish for a few improvements in foldering and sizing but my screens handle it and the other attributes of sonar far outweigh this for me.
 
Still trying to find a decent semi-weighted 88, like you...Have all but given up on Akai listening to all of us who are still hoping;  might actually just bite the bullet and get both the NI Kontrol 88 AND the new Nektar 88 so I have both the light guide, which I love... and the semi weighted when needed...

Hey there Dana!  So much to like in Sonar, I'd recommend it (indeed have done).  Really like their attitude to upgrades too, best in class of any developer imo.  I guess we all have things that we can't live without though... I use PT for audio post, but could never have considered it for music use because the track name reduced to 5 characters on a narrowest view.  For most people that's an irritation I guess, for me it was beyond the pale - just couldn't get over it.
 
One area where Cubase is best in class is in track names and heights.  It's a marvel of design that something as narrow as their tracks can be so clear and practical, its very hard to give that up.  With CC / EuCon, I'd need a really solid non-tablet based automated / named midi CC solution aside from the Artist to leave Cubase, and thus far I haven't found one.  So I'm kinda stuck there for now it seems - not especially happy, but that's life.
 
Speaking of which, still waiting for my dream semi-weighted...
