I recently upgraded to Cubase 14.
I’ve searched about Notepad, and I know where it is but I can’t figure out how to open it so it appears as a ‘Notepad’. That is, other than widening my Tracks fully and stretching the Height so I can read it. Is there a keystroke that will make it pop-up, let me read or write, and then pop back down without having to reverse the process?
Or, maybe some other trick?
Hi,
You can expand the Project Notepad only.
Thank you for responding…
Where is the Project notepad? Did I miss it?
Actually, it’s the Notepad section available in the track inspector (left zone of the project/arrange page).
How cool is THAT!
Thank you!!!
Maybe some users get confused.
There are 2 notepads. The track notepad mentioned above and the Project Notepad. (I’m using the word Project because I don’t remember its correct name) Two different notepads for 2 different objectives.
SOME!?!?!?
I didn’t even know there was a Project Notepad - @Martin.Jirsak made me look.
OT
It would be nice if it had basic text functions such as italics, bold, etc.
It would. However I get the feeling we are lucky enough to have ultra basic functions such as copy/paste in both track notepad and what im calling project notepad.
Melda has a decent but crippled until you pay for it type track notepad. Its just an insert. But it has different sized fonts, colors, etc. And another track insert called…iirc snapshot for jpegs pics etc on tracks.
There are some other free ones, but in my experience, dont work well and are no longer supported.

Hey, at least we don’t need to squeeze hand written notes onto a strip of drafting tape anymore.
Yeah, that’s nice, but it’s taking ages for all the glue still left on my monitor screen to wear off

It was a simpler time…
And I still use pen and paper, a real notebook.
But I wrote my own Notepad program, which sits in the System Tray, or whatever name it has now.
I wondered if “Hello World” was an artifact of a coding background

Have you tried Jotter? → Jotter | NUGEN Audio
Something like this would be nice in Cubendo…
Not stones and chisels?

That’s why you use drafting & not masking tape

Not the dumbest thing I’ve done though!

I have not tried it and didnt know about it.
However for $50, considering the free stand alone version would not be of much use to me, ill stick with Meldas notepad.
I agree that something more integrated like Jotter in Cubase, would be a fabulous new feature and IMO very beneficial toward a general experienced Cubendo user base.
The sad thing is that even in 2025, I guess a new specialized compressor, limiter, EQ, delay seems to attract new users instead of a new “boring” feature like Jotter.
Thoughts?
For the people that have responded to this…
I use the notepad to indicate the progress I’ve made on a Project.
I will work on several at a time, and this serves a reminder about were I left off.
