Yep, sorry mate - I was updating from X1D straight to X2A.

I was hoping [some] previous staff view issues might have been addressed,

things that had been ongoing. The pane on the right was fixed for selecting tracks [2XA]

But alas little else. I use staff view quite a lot for editing, but i have kinda got used to the well documented short

comings, and resigned myself to the fact that it looks like that's as far as the SV is going to go.

Which is a shame really.

@lowdown - A shame indeed.
 
I was reading in some other threads that X2a was causing SV snap to grid issues which are not present in X2.
 
Hopefully this is either user error, or Cakewalk will iron things out.  Even with SV limitations, it would be nice to see 8.5.3 SV icons return, and maybe even have a dedicated SV snap to grid.
 
The other thing which concerns me is that some who had no problems on X1 are now experiencing issues with X2 and vice-versa.  I would wait to see thing settle out before I upgrade to X2.
