Regarding staff view/notation: I use staff view heavily, and there is one thing that is a must for any such feature, whether an improved staff view or integration with another product: navigation and selection MUST allow for "infinite" scrolling and selecting in the vertical and horizontal planes. I tried Cubase, and was shocked to discover that I could only select notes in the bars showing in the current view. Unlike Sonar, once you get to the right edge, you stop. you cannot select notes or measures beyond that. You can bet I will be watching closely any discussions of notation, and advocating my head off about this. Sonar's staff view is primarily and editing tool. It works for musicians who read music and especially classical or film composers who do orchestration. If the new staff view is an attempt at integrating true notation with a DAW, they will be in for a lot of trouble. no one has been able to do this yet. Just fix the flaws in staff view (see other threads on this for details). Don't try to square the circle.
Noel mention that as well as playing guitar, Meng studied classical music on the piano. This has given em the feeling that staff view will be valued. BandLab also have an Educational focus (WINNER: Best Classroom Technology at NAMM 2018), so I'd hope Sonar will hope t push int the educational market so anther reason to see a focus n staff view.
I haven't installed Overture yet to see how that scrolls, but I guessing they'd return to him if the deal he presented before was as well received by Cakewalk as he said. So I'd suspect it would run in similar ways, At least if overture does, voicing your opinion would be receiving a like minding reception from him.
