Two 'Views' open simultaneously

[Clive Harding]

I am pretty sure that in the previous free Cakewalk by Bandlab version, I could have both the console view and the piano roll view open at the same time in two floating windows.  Actually, I have a 3-monitor setup, so I have the console view on one, the track view on the main monitor and the piano roll on the third.

In the new Cakewalk Sonar free edition, it seems I can only have one view (in the Multidock) open at one time, so I can have track view and then console view OR piano view in the multidock, not both.

AmI missing something?

The Cakewalk BOT answered by saying that only one view can be open at a time.

I have three UnDocked floating views open right now. Console, Piano Roll, and Markers. You can UnDock the MultiDock itself and in that view only one view can be visible at one time. But you can UnDock the views themselves by Right-Clicking the name of the view and select UnDock. This will open the view independent of the MultiDock. You can do this whether the MultiDock is UnDocked or not. To disable this floating function Left-Click the icon at the top left corner of the view.

Suppose you undock all views from the Multidock; can you then have multiple floating views open and on different monitors?

So far as I can tell, it is possible to have multiple views floating at the same time (e.g., Console, Staff, PVR, and Browser) independent from the Main / Track View and a floating multidock that contains a single synth in one tab of the multidock.

As for views/modules/windows docked within the multidock, so far as I remember, we could only have one tab open at a time, although they can each be undocked independently from the multidock.

Generally I have had multiple synths open (floating in their own windows), but I also explored using different synths each docked in its own tab within the one multidock we get.
