Piano Roll note name display

I saw a program called Reaper that would display the midi note names (A2, C#3, F1, etc) on the actual note blocks in the piano roll view.
Very cool and helpful when "writing" or learning stuff.
Is there anyway to enable this in SonarHS?
Or request in a future upgrade?

    Bring up your piano roll editor. Put your mouse over the piano keys. Right click. Put a dot in "use these note names instead" hit the picklist to the right and choose "diatonic".
    When you scroll your mouse across the blocks the note name will appear on the corresponding key.

    You can also configure the keyboard to display names on the keys to your liking by making an instrument definition file (actually just a small part of a full instrument definition file for getting different key names) but it is too much to explain for me.

    It's in the help file, but it looked too complicated for me too. But it's there if you want to try it!

    Can't do that. Good idea though.

    it will display the note name and the time as you hover over each note. look in the are where the icons are as you move the mouse cursor around.

    that's the closest to what you're showing in reaper that I know about being able to do.
