Score Editor - Going from C9 to C12

Hello folks

Recently updated from C9 to C12 and I’m noticing more and more little issues in the Score Editor.
I’ve already made a posts about Tempo Track Editor lagginess if modified while the Score Editor is open; and the issue of ‘Hide Stems/Rests’ being checked randomly for certain tracks.
But I thought I’d start a thread to perhaps collate any further observations I make.

These are all issues that I did not have in Cubase 9…

Something I’ve been noticing since the upgrade is a slight - but really problematic - lagginess when entering or selecting notes on a stave.
If I position a note on the stave using the mouse, waiting til I hear the pitch I need, and then release the mouse button to place it: that moment of releasing the mouse button would instantly drop the note where it is at that moment - in Cubase 9. Now in C12 I notice that for a fraction of a second AFTER releasing the button, any fractional mouse movement will still move the note. I find that I’ll choose a note position/pitch release the mouse button then suddenly hear the pitch shift to a nearby note, and the note will be pitched wrongly on the stave.
Perhaps similarly, I notice that if I select a group of notes on a stave, if I release the mouse button IMMEDIATELY after the rectangle of selection covers the notes I need, the notes most recently taken within that rectangle may not actually be selected.
These are I guess relatively minor problems, and I guess most people would not follow such a clunky note entry method, but it’s really becoming a bit of an obstacle to my workflow. Any ideas what I can do about this?

Also, I was very happy that this latest C12 maintenance update returned mousewheel/vertical-scroll functionality to the Score Editor. It is in fact the redress that allowed me to finally upgrade from C9.
But the vertical scroll speed is just too fast!
I generally have a full score layout in the editor, and it seems just a small movement of the mousewheel will fling me from the double basses right up to the piccolo! If I want to scroll up just a few staves it is impossible.
Can anything be done about this?

Thanks

I cannot reproduce the behavior you described regarding note entry and note selection combined with fast mouse movements.

I probably haven’t described it very well!
In the process of mouse based note entry, I would place the note at the pitch I need and release the mouse button to place it. And as soon as I released that mouse button the note was where I wanted and I didn’t need to think about it anymore, so I would quickly and fluidly be onto placing the next note. Now when I release to place the note I often hear a change of pitch AFTER I have released the button and started moving the mouse. It really must be a fraction of a second. But it interrupts my workflow.
Do you get what I mean?
The same with note selection. Actually, I might be able to get a video of the note selection issue.
I would just assume it was a problem with my mouse rather and Cubase, but I did not have this problem with Cubase 9.

What you are saying is clear. On my system (See my profile) I can’t reproduce either.

You don’t provide your system info, so now I will ask you to share it. I really do not understand why people don’t give this most basic information when posting an issue, or at least typing it into the forum profile. 100% of the time when it is not included, it must be requested in an additional post.

Hello Steve
Apologies for not providing system info!
You’re absolutely right - and it must be frustrating having to additionally prompt for it. So, sorry.

So… anyone else noticing this behaviour?

Can you choose just one thing to investigate?
