They've made updates and bug fixes to PRV in X1 and X2

Yeah, they UNNECESSARILY introduced the silly rounded note shape. 


They do make it easier to see when notes are overlapping!

Dropping notation will cause me to drop Sonar.  I have a feeling there might be a decent chunk of the market that feels as I do.   

Not bringing Staff View's functionality (limited as it was) back to the way it was in Sonar version 7 or 8 will cause me to drop Sonar.
 
It's one thing to ignore functionality, but to have it degrade is quite another.

They should drop audio entirely. Then with MIDI dropped and audio dropped it will be the most stable DAW ever!

Well, they could have just added the "Delete Double Notes" feature, which Studio One has.

Agreed.   Also, at the very least notation provides us with an easy way of placing a MIDI track, even if silent, in a project as a reminder of the musical detail in the piece which can be consulted any time in the future.  With high numbers of projects being sketched out and revisited later this alone makes it a must.

+1. I like those rounded note shapes.

That wouldn't work for me - sometimes (mostly?) all I want to do is to shorten the length of an overlapping note so that it ends before the next one begins.

In any case, what is so silly about having rounded edges?

To the Bakers:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE understand how CRITICAL it is for a large number of folks here!

It desperately needs some developer time devoted to it.

Bakers - if you were to start a thread seeking a laundry list of particulars people would like created or fixed for Staff View, perhaps a FEW of the most asked for ones could get done.  Maybe something small to build or fix is something that would greatly ease the suffering that folks go through trying to use this method of data entry, but not require a large development effort. (maybe just a slight tweak to a function, for example).  The way to know is to ask for that information from the forum folks, and then see if can be done.

This would be a HUGE deal for this group of folks.

PLEASE at least devote a thread to finding out what people are most asking for with Staff View - that requires an insignificant expenditure of resource - post the thread and take a look at the results, and then decide if anything can be reasonably delivered.
