[Has Workarounds] PRV Drum Pane contents vanish when selecting other non-drum-map track

[Colin Nicholls]

I feel like I'm missing something here. I want to see the drum notes when editing the other tracks, but they keep vanishing:

 

Does anyone have any insight? I can't think of any reason why - from a user experience point of view - this should be the case.

 

EDIT: I've submitted this as a bug report because it is driving me crazy.

I get the same thing

On reflection I do see the problem if we have multiple drum tracks with their own Drum Map.. I mean, you don't want the drum-mapped tracks to overlay in the Drum Pane, so maybe keeping it exclusive as it is now is the best idea.

Some workarounds:

 

• Opening two PRV windows, undocking, and locking the contents to see different types of track in each:

• Inline PRV in Track View:

Not perfect but pretty good:
