HI, I do agree with that.
I think I was not clear enough: I meant to solve this by integrating a great Notepad in Cubase, but still store the notes in files that are also readible by any wordprocessor outside cubase. The project file itself should only contain references to these files - just as it is the case with all the audio files in cubase.
Yes, perfect.
I wouldn’t be against a tab at the bottom (along with the rest of them: editor, mixer etc.) for notes. With all the bells and whistles of word processing. Reads and writes files, instead of baked into the project. And you could set it up to auto-move to pages, according to a trigger. Timeline, focused window etc. With a general project info tab. On export you could choose to write the project info as metadata to the file.
Have you considered making this a FR and posting the link here? As long as you include improvement to Track Notepad, I would vote for it. I think there are some huge improvements that could be made, especially if there was a notepad environment/format for 3rd party developers.
Actually I have a mind to do this myself. A mini obsidian vst, and a plugin for the main obsidian program, to sync them together.. So the vst will be a lite version of obsidian. Drawing from an external vault, not the project.
Or ideally the bottom tab area have a mini obsidian in there.
But at least something better than this.
I didn’t know there was a track notepad. Looks like they moved it to the mix console.
You get four words of room. Four words.
That’s the state of the union, guys. Backflipping robots, quantum computing, and a ten-pixel box in cubase for notes.
