Piano Roll lasso behavior
By default, lasso selecting the top of velocity lines in the Piano Roll's Note pane also automatically
selects the corresponding note events. If you don't want velocity lines to affect note selection, you
can change the behavior by adding a switch to the Windows registry.
1. Click the Start button and select Run.
2. Type regedit and click OK to open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR
Producer\X3.
4. Add a new DWORD value called AllowLassoVelInNotesPane (click Edit > New > DWORD
Value).
5. Double-click the new AllowLassoVelInNotesPane DWORD event to open the Edit DWORD
Value dialog box, then change the value to 0 (0=OFF; 1=ON).
6. Click OK to close the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, then restart SONAR.

Warning: Always back up the Windows registry before making any changes. Only edit the
registry if you are comfortable doing so.
Note: If you are showing velocity lines in the Piano Roll Controller pane, you can still lasso select
velocity lines to select the corresponding note events. The above registry setting only affects the
Note pane in the Piano Roll and inline Piano Roll.
