Many thanks for the quick replies - they are greatly appreciated. Cntl+Shift when starting didn't help, but dwardzala's post pointed me in the right direction and it is now fixed. The Piano Roll Window had got moved off the screen somehow and hence wasn't visible.
Here's the resolution in case it helps anyone else. I created a Staff View, undocked it and used cntl+tab to cycle round the open windows, seeing each Window bar get highlighted in turn. Then I opened Piano Roll View and repeated the process, getting an extra window in the contl+tab cycle that I can't see on the screen. This suggested the Piano Roll window does open but has a ridiculous X-Y offset that puts it beyond the screen and hence I can't see it.
The solution was to use cntl+tab until the missing window is selected (it won't be visible, but nothing else will be highlighted). Now press Windows key and the arrows keys to get the window back onto the monitors. Job done.
Thanks for the quick responses and help.
