Under the "Deliver" icon here http://www.cakewalk.com/SONAR-X2/ one can read: "NEW! MusicXML export" and "Print Notation".  The MusicXML was already included in the X1 Expanded version.  I'm intrigued about the notation printing addition.  Have they finally upgraded the notation function of Sonar?  Fingers crossed.

Nahhh, totally wishful thinking. And quite frankly, most people could care less about printing sheetmusic in Sonar.

nothing on staff view  :(

Jim- it is almost unbelieavable, but I'm afraid the sad reality. Did you notice the way CW advertises X2 on here http://www.cakewalk.com/SONAR-X2/ ?

absolutely no reference to writing/composing. Music, as some of us grew up learning and practicing it, doesn't seem to be the same anymore. I don't know what to make out of this anymore...................

Under the Deliver section I read this:


"Flexible export options
NEW! Integrated SoundCloud
NEW! MusicXML export
Export Video
Cakewalk Publisher
Print Notation
Burn CDs"
 
Not sure if this means anything new tho.

Well if it were being sold as writing/composing software I'd guess that it would include a rhyming dictionary...It's being marketed as MUSIC RECORDING and PRODUCTION software.

...so that you can make your music rhyme? That makes sense.... 

Ugh... The people who want the updated staff view want it because that is how they input their midi data as opposed to the PRV. These are generally people who have been formally trained in music. It is foolish to dismiss those folks. It has very little to do with producing sheet music. For example I am about to be putting together a bunch of recordings of traditional folk music. For the melody lines instead of slaving away for endless hours learning and then inputting the notes VIA PRV I can just take the original sheet music and input the data directly through the Staff View. It is an important feature and people have a right to express their needs/wants for it.

Well if you're writing music, you're probably writing lyrics too, hence the need for a rhyming dictionary. It's a very helpful tool.

Sweet video!

Automation lanes welcome!

The color table you see is part of the dev kit used to make the clips. It's on the factory side not on the user side. We thought you might like a peak at how we make the cake.

Oh. Pity.
 
I was going to say - X2 is going to have one HECK of a color editor - !
