In the newest version, you have to select a group of notes with one tool and then change tools in order to right-click and perform an operation on those notes.  that alone is a deal breaker for me since I spend a lot of time using the notation editor.  Unless someone can show me a way to do that in one step, I have no reason to upgrade.

This was discussed in the thread below. Ctrl+Right-Click will bring up the context menu without clearing the selection. Affects the PRV as well.

I remember  before the last version of Platinum there was a problem with right-clicking undoing the selection, which Cakewalk fixed in subsequent versions. Now, it's broken again.  As I said, new version = new features + new bugs.  It would be hard to believe that having to press CTRL in order to right click was intentional.

Until I find a bug in the last version of Platinum that affects the way I work, why "upgrade"?  Why fix what isn't broken?   Each person uses a DAW a bit differently than others, so for example I wouldn't notice bugs in the PRV because I've never used it in the 30+ years I've been working in a DAW.  The person who doesn't use the notation editor would never notice bugs in that part of the program.   I suppose we all have to pick the imperfections we must live with, as nothing humans do, make or are is perfect...

I hear what you’re saying but a huge number of pre-existing bugs have also been fixed. Hard to imagine none of them would be affecting you. But you’re the best judge of what you need.
