Anyways, try the new beta 14:

The events no longer change height according to velocity in the piano roll mode.

There is a new “Highlight line when mouse cursor is on timeline” option in the notes region dialog.

Thanks a lot for these changes. I know I’ve been opposed to some changes and only later came to realize their usefulness, but I hope you can see why these ones might’ve not been ideal for everyone.
And the new video is great. Shows how powerful this feature really is, espcially if it works combined with track templates, as expected.

Okay, I got a little lost editing drum maps during testing. It would be nice if the note row highlighting (in the drum map) followed the selected note in the note map properties dialog. Or if the the default (General MIDI?) note names were displayed ghosted in the dialog.

A few more small findings:

– Due to the notes’ height changing in the drum map, it looks and feels like the velocity handle (using the pencil tool) is outside the note. Also, selecting “small” notes can be done by clicking above or below them. I only bring it up because the thing you said is unintuitive is happening here… and it is, at first, but it’s definitely better than having to hunt pixels. 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, I really do like the note height feature in the drum map!

– The help text for the velocity edit mode buttons still reads “… to set default velocity of 64.”

– Not a problem, but the area where you can click the “keys” to preview at different velocites seems pretty small in the drum map, compared to the piano roll.

The note row highlighting – besides that it isn’t consistently bright on white and black rows […]

Wasn’t very clear on this one, so here’s a big picture to emphasize what I mean. The highlight overlay thingy would need to have different brightness depending whether it’s on white, black, or disabled keys.
