I would like to see the program have the ability to have at least 2 staffs (say guitars) open at the same time and on the same screen. It makes it so much easier to write harmony or arrange chord structures while also working with the lead sheet. I don't think it can be that difficult to accomplish this, it is done in many other music notation software programs. For example Notion 6 by Presonus you can have a complete orchestra open on one screen. Does wonders for arranging.
Thanks, appreciate the time
Chris Raven

Presumably you are referring to the Notation Edit window.
The suggestion to have multiple staffs displayed simultaneously has merit, although I'm not sure of the complexity involved to deliver such a feature.
Separate to this, in the notation lead sheet window, you can select multiple staffs for displaying, but this is for printing, not editing.
At any rate, I would certainly offer a vote of support.

Back in the Dark Ages, before RealBand, this was possible in PowerTracksPro,
I used it for harmonies as Chris describes and was surprised it was not available when RB was released.
Is it still available in PTP?

+1 I would definitely use this. Two sets of staves would be excellent for the Melody and Soloist tracks.
Eventually, as all tracks become equal, the ability to select which track(s) could be shown in the Notation Mode and the Editable Notation Mode would be great.
Not sure about the piano roll; it was not mentioned and I don't often use that so I'll leave it to others to make suggestions whether it should be included as the third possible mode. I know some software I saw was able to do different tracks in different colors, but I found that confusing.
For now, baby steps would be fine.

Welcome to the forums Chris, and thanks for the great suggestion! It would be very handy to even have a "Score View" option. Being able to view multiple lines at once is very important for composing. I'll be sure to pass this along to our development team and maybe we can get this for a future release!
Best,
Jerry
