Transpose / Key+ Parameter - How to add to "All" or "Custom" view?

Do you think this is something that can be accomplished via one of the .ini files?  Or is Sonar X1 different?

Yes, the transpose controls.  I see them in the inspector, but since I never [normally] use the inspector, I'd love to see them back in the main track view like they are for 8.5.3 and all previous versions.

In older versions of Cakewalk we were able to select track parameters via the "[MIDI Widgets]" section in the cakewalk.ini.  I don't see that section in the X1 cakewalk.ini.

The fastest method for doing transpose is to select the track/tracks that you want to transpose, Go to Process - Transpose and you can do a whole song at once.(I usually select all Midi and then while holding Control deselect the Drum track/s).

Having transposition be a property of a track makes it easy to move notes between instruments that play an octave off from each other.  For instance, my Triton plays an octave lower than General Midi instruments, so if I want to switch between a Triton bass patch and a Dimension pro bass patch, I find it easier to move (or copy) the clips to a different track (with a +/- 12 key offset) than to select then entire track and process the transposition (and remember to do that only once).

Also, if you want play your keyboard an octave lower, the easiest way is to set that track property.  Having to play an octave too high, and then transpose later, compromises the performance.

Of course, since the inspector lets us transpose a track, we in theory should not be grumbling, but it sure is painful to have a frequently-used feature disappear or become harder to use, as this one has. 

My guess is that Cakewalk just didn't know which features people found handy and which ones never got used, and made assumptions based on developers' and/or newbies' preferences.  This of course makes us long-time Cakewalk supporters feel "dissed".  Hence the ****ing.

I ran across this yesterday, please bring the key offset to the track view properties.  

If I'm going to transpose MIDI in the inspector with the mouse, I would prefer to have + and - controls rather than having to drag that bar across. It's a little unresponsive and sometimes it's hard to settle on the number of semitones you want the first time. 

one of the best solutions for this is to insert the transpose plugin on the midi track.

That's still a lot of work for multiple tracks, and MIDI FX cause trouble with looping (notes from measure after the loop get played back at the beginning of each iteration).

funny, when i put midifx in the midi clip, looping problems cease.  weird glitch like midi looping in matrix view.
