Well, I've been patiently funding all kinds of features that I don't use for years, so I figure every now and then, my turn will come up :)

:) Just so you know, it would be a hell of a lot quicker to just switch DAW.

True, but I've been with Cakewalk since it was Twelve Tone Systems, so it seems hope springs eternal :)

The thing about Notation requests is that the same people  ( but mpstly vintage vibe )make them over and over and over again and sometimes appear to be zealots. What is more annoying- people who are ridiculously optimistic and will let Sonar brook no criticism or the other eternally pessimistic souls....
 
If the work to notation would require major manpower- why should I as a non user want to fund that? 

Same could be argued about Drum Replacer, the New Start Screen, etc. Even CCC. The software is not a la carte. I (and you) paid for software that includes a  staff view and rudimentary notation. It is a feature of the software and in many cases was a contributing factor to users choosing SONAR (or one of its predecessors).

Buy something for what it is- not for something you desire it to be in the future. I hope you guys get what you want but maybe it's not that easy or they would have done it already. Or maybe not many people want it!

The nice thing is that you are contributing the already-very-impressive post count of a thread that proves that many people do, in fact, care.

I'd like to know the percentage of user base. 

Maybe you could ask Cakewalk to spend some time developing that very significant musical feature: Percentage of User Base Interested in Certain Topics :)

I'd rather just make rough estimates based on thread length :)

OK, 819 replies as of now - How does that compare with other threads and/or requests for other improvements or changes to existing features in terms of percentage of user base?
