sadicus Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 "piano roll" Cakewalk Site Search is finding results for Sonar X2. How to find docs to only current version? http://www.cakewalk.com/Site-Search?q=Piano+Roll+View
user905133 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I usually choose one of the links and change it to "Cakewalk" https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=Views.04.html https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Views.04.html However, that doesn't always work--such as with this one. (It usually works for me about 60-70% of the time.) So I usually then go to the Table of Contents https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/Home Some times its easier to use the index https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=ix.html THUS: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.03.html Edited March 5, 2020 by User 905133 1

From what I have seen (as a user, not an expert), when the search bar produces a "powered by Google custom search" result, it lists the results for many different SONAR/Cakewalk products. I have not seen a way to limit the Google search engine to just "product=Cakewalk." Maybe there is a way, though. From Help in Cakewalk, I get a Cakewalk [current product line] link: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=0x184C5 Most of the times when I use the search bar, one of the links in the Google search is for the current product. For example, I looked up "fx chains" and one of the Google search links had "product=Cakewalk." When I clicked on it, it took me a page for the current product line: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.34.html Most of the time, I do not have to edit the link. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my earlier post. I made the suggestion because sometimes the "powered by Google . . ." results don't clearly show a link for the current product line. Maybe someone else knows how to filter the searches so they only show results for CbB. I don't know if they can add a product filter to the Google search engine. Personally, I'd rather they spend their time fixing bugs in the product itself. Many times, I will use the Reference Guide. I usually find things I didn't know. Edited March 5, 2020 by User 905133 to add SONAR/ so it reads SONAR/Cakewalk 1
