I've gone to the Views, Notes, Controllers menus in the PRV (and anywhere else I could think of) and unselected anything relating to velocity and controllers but I still have all the lines making it hard to focus inputting notes. They're kind of glitchy graphically too which is adding to the visual mess. Am I stuck with these things? 

Any help is appreciated. I'm on X2 build 308 (quick fix). Thanks.

Well, I think I just found a bug that will turn them off. In the controller pane at the bottom left of PRV, click the down arrow of the controller selection drop-down menu. Choose "New Value Type..." then click Cancel in the box that comes up. Velocity lines gone. Obviously you can also just choose a different controller like Modulation that doesn't exist in your midi track and that will get rid of the lines too. Or you can drag the divider between the notes pane and the controller pane to the bottom until the pane isn't showing anymore (Sonar doesn't remember this setting, though, ao if you close PRV and reopen, the controller pane will return).

  Show/Hide Controller Pane did it. Hilarious I had to SHOW the pane to get the bleeding controllers out of the way. lol!

Thanks.

Studying non friggen' stop and it's crap like this that trips me up. This graphical weirdness has me concerned too. I really don't want to have to buy an expensive graphics card. :-/ 

I'm guessing there will be some graphics fixes in the next update that will probably help with reported graphics problems overall. I'm on X2a and I still run into the occasional glitch. I'm sure they made changes to the graphics engine in X2 that still need to be ironed out.

I'm staying away from the current patch because it sounds like they broke more stuff than they fixed trying to integrate with Win 8 after MS fully released it. I'm not freaking out about it but I am mildly annoyed at how that went down. They should have put out a patch for Win 7 users based on the initial reports and implemented all the Win 8 weirdness separately. It was kind of like a brand new release that needed to be user tested. Hopefully the b patch will come soon.

X2 is awesome and I love it... but I'm finding tons of bugs and many of them are not on the "a" patch fix list.
