Why in Piano Roll View sometimes it shows number and other times shows a keyboard.  Is there a way to make it show the keyboard when it is showing numbers?

Right click on the very left in Piano Roll View, on either the piano keys, or the numbers.  This opens the Note Names Dialog box.  See this for more:

Scroll up.
Or maybe select Use Assigned Instrument Name.

This normally happens when a MIDI track's output is set to a frozen synth or is set specifically to display 0.. 127, but this can be overridden.

"Right click on the very left in Piano Roll View" was right on but try Use these Note Names Instead > Diatonic to display keys.

Side Note:  Editing notes on a frozen MIDI/Synth track won't affect the synth until it's unfrozen.

Ok, I got it to work.  By clicking USE THESE NOTE NAMES INSTEAD and selecting DIATONIC, then click on USE THE ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS SETTINGS and then back again to USE THESE NOTE NAMES INSTEAD and selecting DIATONIC it changes to the keyboard.

huh??

I made a mistake in my reply above by suggesting that you could return to the keyboard by scrolling up. So, I recognized that mistake when I reread this thread.
