"If playback starts after a note start, the note will be played as though its start time were at the position at which playback started"

Is this feature still unavailable in Sonar?

Yep.

Is it too difficult for an old daw like Sonar to implement this? Or is it just because not many users want it? 

Given that this won't guarantee the note plays back with the correct sound at the right time (think long attack), I think this is a good thing to protect users that SONAR doesn't.  I can imagine the complaints that users could generate.

I dunno, I would like to see this as well.... but strictly as an option, of course.  And with a full disclaimer based on what Kevin wrote - because the first time some loud synth patch blasted through someone's speakers unexpectedly you know they'll be pissed and will demand to know that on earth CW was thinking...  

Would be good to have this as an option. I've used other DAWs that chase notes and found it more of a help than a problem.

i can't seem to get scrub to work with midi in track view either... work ok for you guys???

I don't know which daws you're talking about, but if they're not as buggy as Sonar, it might actually be a problem.

It is an option; it's called Freeze.
