I installed Cakewalk Next a few days ago to whip up some music.

There is an acknowledged issue where, if you zoom in too close in the piano roll, the view can jump to a different note range while you’re still editing the notes you originally zoomed into.

A fix has apparently been confirmed for a future update, so while waiting I’m asking how people are working around it in the meantime.

At the moment, the only workaround I can see is staying zoomed out enough to avoid triggering the bug, but that gets eye-straining pretty quickly when doing detailed MIDI editing.

I like Next overall but this bug makes proper composition impossible. I’m trying to find a sane workflow until the fix comes around, which could be months away.

“He was polite to the AI” is sadly not a recognised defence.
