OMG! I just realized.
*STICKY NOTES!
Imagine having that, you write your notes, and when you come back a few days later, your list of To Do’s or whatever is right in front of you.
Cubase already has a notepad located in the Inspector view.
However I use a 3rd party VST named CodeFN42 VSTNotepad. Another honourable mention is Melda Production MNotepad.

- Implement modulation assignment similar to Bitwig, where you can drag up or down to simultaneously set the modulation amount.
- Make the modulation amount easier to control instead of a tiny bar.
- Make ‘hide all automation’ behave the same as ‘hide automation’ but for all tracks, instead of reseting all automation visibility when reopened
- Allow volume automation to ‘detach’ from fader, without having to automate a separate volume plugin

(A tab that displays all insert plugins over the opened plugin, with which you can then open the plugins over it without having to go into the mixer and the new plugin opens in the same window. So you only have one plugin window open at a time)
- Saving the modulators also includes the connection with the plugins
- Imrproved Chord pads
- Editing of the notes, manually. Now you cannot double the root reliably, and often the arrow buttons for inversions limit what you can do.
- AI suggestion of progressions and alternative chords. Different genres. Adding a transition chord. Add pre-chorus and add bridge progression.
- Drag and drop of midi to pads to add chords. From desktop or from inside Cubase.
- Performance per pad. Ie add riffs, arps, or strums to the pads, on a per pad basis. Also to have a note scatter and complexity function sliders for the performance
- Add/import chords from Chordpad preset, while keeping what you already have, including preview before adding.
- Audio rate modulator.
- Share modulator on multiple channels.

I absolutely know about the hidden notes box. Never gets used. Just like in an office, people put sticky notes on their monitors for important stuff. Stuff you don’t really need as an important to do, you put away in a the folder or drawer, like the Cubase notepad. Totally different. I would probably even put a sticky in my template for some of the stuff you need to do sometimes, that are complex and hard to remember.

Thank you for renormalizing my text but this summary of my original suggestion is missing the tree view display of projects.
And concerning NKS, the term compatible is not exactly as accurate as asking media library to read AND play NKS library files.

Sent a newer one. Thanks for pointing that out.
The new score editor is much more streamlined than the one in V13. I like that, however there is much room for improvement.
- respell notes (# and b)
- bars per system function, as in V13
- of course, many other Dorico functions.

De-clutter the LH track inspector Basic and Routing panes, increase font size on most-used controls - MIDI channel and which instrument it’s routed to - and allow user to ditch the others. I never use track presets, MIDI panning, change patches, or drum maps! (Yes, YMMD, I know).

Track “Names” should dynamically expand and contract accordingly when resizing the track list instead of having a fixed “track name width” value in the track control settings.

Track “Visible Controls” that are positioned next to the “Track Name” should always remain visible when expanding or contracting the width of the track list. Track “Visible Controls” that are positioned next to the Track Name should override the visibility of the Track Name.
