Song file not saving Screen layout ???

[James Pearl]

Every time i open a saved tune i have to re arrange the screen , what am i doing wrong ' Thanks in-advance !

I'm definitely not seeing this behaviour.

I originally thought it might be down to the project reverting to a different screen set on reload, but this also works fine for me.

Can you post a screenshot of your screen layout?

Even better would be a quick video showing the behaviour  (https://www.screentogif.com/ is good for this)

This has happened to me a few times as well.  I think it’s a minor bug, but isn’t a frequent one.

Make sure to save the project after changing the layout. Changing the screen layout does not dirty the project so closing a project or CbB will not display a save reminder.

Maybe that's the issue... maybe if Cakewalk doesn't dirty the project, it doesn't save the changes to the screen layout.

If this is the case, muting/unmuting a track then saving should solve it.

The state of the dirty flag does not matter.

Saving a project, saves the screen layout.

However, because the dirty flag is not set,  it is easy to leave a project without saving the screen layout if it was changed after the last save.

Have you tried saving your preferred set up as a "custom screen" in the screens section at the top of the page .

Theres a box in the top righthand corner. If it says "Basic", Change it to "Advanced"
