, I mean if your classically trained etc.. 

...Or play jazz, are a studio musician, compose for media, arrange music, teach music... 

... or anything else really.

Just because you use PRV doesn't rule out using SV too.  If you've got two screens, having both views open together can give a better perspective, particularly with PVR zoomed in and SV zoomed out.

Then why is it you never see rock musicians such as Eric Clapton or Carlos Santana reading music while performing ?? They'd look silly with a music stand in front of him while banging out the lead part on Layla or Black Magic Woman , but they aren't musicians...ya right....
 
 
In the rock music category, reading music is akin to using cheat sheets.

tell that to Joe Satriani & Steve Vai (or countless others for that matter)

Sorry, but when I see a local musician on stage with his notebook showing him the chords to the songs which he should know, I just cringe. Excuse me while I turn the page !! You want me to play what song ?? Just a minute, let me look it up !!

It's really a crutch.
 
 

Notion is supposed to have an announcement "soon" about a release date for Notion 4. Like so many such situations, "soon" has become a very elastic term that stretches to accomodate pretty an entire calendar year.
 
But I own version 3, and hope to see 4 incorporate better VST and MIDI functionality. I too prefer score view, and if Notion does a good enough job of it I might find myself with fewer ties to Sonar. If Sonar is going to ignore notation, then notation users will have to ignore Sonar. I accept the fact that many Sonar users couldn't care less about notation. So be it.
 

I could care less as long as the guy can play & the band sounds good. 

That only comes with practice and talent.

I've been waiting for 2 1/2 years for Notion 3.  I'm not hopeful.  If it's not 64 bit and major work hasn't been done what's the point?

Here's a guy that doesn't need written music to perform... watch this and tell me he's not a musician !!
