Perfect - All fixed - a big thanks to the team

I set it and it does not seem to make any difference. I have Cakewalk set to be the default midi player. When I double click a midi file - Cakewalk starts up, loads the midi file, loads TTS and all is fine playing wise. However, the folder that contains the Midi file now contains an Audio Export folder regardless of what I have it set to in preferences

When I open a Midi file in other editors EG Reaper and look at the event list there are note off values. If I load that same midi to cakewalk and then export it as midi and then open with another editor the note-off values/events are not present. If I load the original Midi (not touched by Cakewalk) into Studio One and export it back out and then load it in reaper the note off values are preserved. It seems that any midi that I export from Cakewalk drops the Note-off values This is making it impossible for me to move midi in and out of cakewalk as it has serious effects on the midi within the other editors. The same happens if I just drag a midi track from within cakewalk to the desktop. The midi file is created but it has dropped all of the noteoff events/values Is this a bug or by design ?

Sorry I meant when you add a plugin via the fx box in a track etc. I realise that you can do what I want via the plugins browser side bar thing and dragging it over.

Please can you consider having a way to search for a plugin when adding an fx or instrument. A simple find box that filters before picking would be nice. These days people have a lot of plugins and scrolling through drop down menus is quite difficult. Many many thanks for the recent updates. Expression maps are simply outstanding.

Ok It is now working. After uninstalling and then manually clearing the registry and the direcorties and then reinstalling. This time a Cakewalk wizard took me through a setup as if this was the first time installation and all is well. Now the hard part of putting back all of my settings, workspaces and sorting out all of the plugins etc. A real pain but worth it for the snap function - It's a primitive snap but will do me. Thanks for your help everyone and thankyou Bandlab One thing extra that I have noticed is that the start window were you choose a project or create new is far faster. Regards Jim

First attempt no good - uninstalled cakewalk and Bandlab assistent. This did not remove the entries in Pragram Files, Program data and Appdata/Roaming so I manually removed them. Wend to Bandlab sit and chose download. Installed the assistant then downloaed Cakewalk without and extras - EG Studio Instruments etc. Proceeded to install Chose advanced (It gave options to choose directories for installation but it would not let me change them. They were greyed out) Completed the install - and Staff view still not obeying Global Snap Going to Repeat but this time clear out all the registry entries that the uninstall does not.

That's good news at least I know that it must be something with my computer. I will backup and uninstall and reinstall and see what happens

I posted the version info above it's 2020.08 (Build 100, 64 Bit) Running on Windows 10 with all the latest patches. I installed it yesterday. I have tried toggling the grid on and off, tried running as administrator. Tried now about 20 times. Do you have your display resolution set at 32nd so you can see if the notes are really on the snap ?. What do the start positions look like in event viewer ? I really do hope that it is working for you. Regards Jim

I have tried it lots of times with the same result. Brand new project. Make sure that the Snap Grid is on and change it to a value (say 1/4 note) Open a midi track into staff view. Select a note duration (Any duration) and I can place it anywhere on the stave and it does not snap. If I drag the note around I can see it still moving by 1/32nd and it does not snap then either. For me it is no different than from before.

With the snap on

These are brand new notes in a brand new project. My display resolution is set to 1/32.

And this is my version info. I take it that Global snap is the snap grid on or off in the Main Tool Bar ? I did not download the beta but waited for the official change and downloaded and installed via the Bandlab Assistant

Yes I have and it still behaves like it always did regardless of that.

Just installed 2020.08 and cant get snap to work at all in staff view

The Staff view snap does not seem to be working.

They are adding back the snap for the next release, although I think that they said that Staff view will obey the Global snap function and not have its own. That's good enough for me and bandlab I thankyou very much indeed.

Along with the existing midi input quantize I would like to have an input velocity curve to choose.

I do believe that if you select say a whole bar and want to bring up the menu that has slide, deglitch etc then you need CTRL+Right Click. I think that it used to be Right Click only. Very minor for me really. Just very grateful that you have fixed snap.

I too am a classical musician and really like using Staff view for composing. Some Instruments I play virtually using a keyboard, some I record directly as audio and some I notate. I can't do that in a Publishing tool like Sibelius but I do use it to print scores and parts if need be. A previous post saying that staff view is unusable is not my experience and I can live with its limitations for my use and I will be quite happy when the snap function returns and the ctrl+right click is restored back to just right click. Another reason that I like Staff View is that I can see more easily the "shape" of the phrases if that makes sense and for multiple parts can see where the melody, harmony and counterpoint move in relation to each other. I find that really hard in Piano Roll. Reaper notation is not Sibelius compared to Cakewalk for me. I use both and find the reaper notation a bit more cumbersome to work with on the whole, however, it's snap functions are perfect!

I get this atop Staff View as well - only when working with Midi

That is such good news. Thank you

Not many people seem to care about staff view but for me it is really important, especially for writing orchestral stuff for games and films etc. Cakewalk can do almost anything except place a note where you want it. After years and years of it being fine someone decided to remove the snap (and indeed the note values at one point). I have decided to migrate to reaper. It has been a bit of a struggle but once you get the hang of it then I can do most things there now. I would come back to cakewalk if staff view had snap. I also work withing a group of people and that means that we will all switch. I appreciate the tremendous effort that goes into some of the latest features but in reality I would not use the arranger view and while being able to visually see changes to a wave in a clip when you apply envelopes is tremendous bit of engineering it does not change the fact that I can't enter the notes on time. I could use the piano roll for maybe 2 instruments at a time but that is so hard compared to looking at a full score of instruments and moving individual notes around or seeing where instruments are in conflict etc. I really don't know why Bandlab don't say anything at all about it or seem to grasp that it is important for some of us. I am thinking of doing some youtube vids of my experience of converting over to reaper and how to do some of the things in reaper that are difficult to find in reaper but easy in cakewalk. Such things as assigning a midi channel to a track or working out how to do the routing of a track so that it resembles the synth rack, bouncing audio, splitting and joining clips (Items in Reaper) etc

When opening a staff view, sometimes the track view playback line(Big Vertical line) is on top of the staff view and not behind it. This is very offputting as the staff view also has it's own playback line. This seems to happen after I have loaded a plugin like Kontakt and minimised it. but not all of the time.
