I totally agree with ED on this one... it should at least stay as an option to be zoom dependent. (talking about grid division)
p.s
is it possible to have "automation lines" like in Midi Editor.. for consistency ?
I posted example 4 months ago about it....

Not sure about that. Unfortunately my gif editing skills aren't existent - I would love to build a mockup-video of interaction to see it. Again, 3 levels would do it. Pre7 is a mess. (Maybe it depends on the scrollwheel settings?)

It's absolutely not a mess, to me. I'd hate to lose the way it was in pre7.

If you hide a track, then you can tell a track is hidden by whether the background does not alternate in places, but this is only true if you just hide one track, or three etc. If you hide two tracks or any other even number of adjacent tracks, then again the patterning looks the same as if you had not, and you are again relying on the track numbers to see whether there are hidden tracks. I've never found it to be necessary at all personally and I would also argue having gridline shading and track even/odd shading simultaneously would be too much altogether.

For people working with very large track counts and keep them minimized most of the time the even/odd track shading is absolutely essential. I use it all the time as a guide when I'm working on the right side of the screen.

Why not follow grid settings, then? With optional "grid /2, /4, /8" and "grid x2, x4, x8". Why measures?

Any more information about this point? (The only loop vs CC display bug that I am aware of, is MIDI editor displays bank select incorrectly when item looped.)

The new MIDI item display with separated CC lanes is impressive!
The "Automatically scale MIDI notes to fit" option does not appear to have any effect any more, and MIDI items are always drawn as if the option is enabled.
While you are working on CC lanes in the arrange view, please consider adding a function to select visible CC lanes directly in the inline editor.

At an overview level, I am very wary of how indiscriminately pushing more and more settings in to preferences is presented as a decision with no downside. Obviously, if you take a step back, that's not true; some users do report finding the volume of preferences to be intimidating, and this can make them wary of altering the preferences at all. Which is a bad thing, and the cure is to be rigorous every time it seems that "just add this one more preference, just this time" is the answer.
With that said, however, in this case I do think a user preference on zoom dependent zooming would be OK

Say it once, say it well, and be done. I'm sure you don't mean to appear like you're trying to bully or overwhelm the opinions of other users in the thread, but that is the danger. A plurality of opinion is always worth hearing, so when you've had your say let it stand or fall on the strength of your argument, not on your willingness or ability to repeat it.

That's fine in the example image you've given, and an appealing idea in principle, but it doubles the difficulties when other factors are brought into play. Reaper is already, in the arrange, using colour (and colour only) to differentiate a great many things. Add in track/item selection, time selection, fades and crossfades, marquee selection, folder ghost waves, text possibly above items, and then all the vast range of elements and screen furniture of a normal session and then background checkerboarding becomes visual noise using up an already stretched RGB spectrum.
The way this could be done would be as a FULL theme-controlled set of colour definitions, and then let the themer wrestle with finding colours that work with every potential setting the user might make, or more likely make a minority-use theme specifically for users who are only going to use it within certain parameters. That would be four new background colours and two new divider colours, and if we're adding things to the themable colours, there are some much more pressing and long-term requirements that I would much rather were addressed.

I guess I didn't present my argument well...
But Commala did it VERY well! As far as I'm concerned, pre7 was perfect and I would hate to see that shading behavior gone.
I will stop repeating my suggestion then, you do have a point WT. I did not want to appear as bullying

Is it normal behavior when rendering a soloed track through the master, that it takes just as much time to render as if all tracks are unsoloed?
I mean it's like Reaper renders all the muted tracks too in the background.
For example if i delete the muted tracks, reaper renders 9x realtime.
If i just solo the track, it renders 1.5x realtime, just like when all the tracks are on.
I would expect reaper to not process the muted track's fx while rendering.
This way it took me 9 times more to export Stems. (i had to go through the master, cause i wanted to print sends too)

One soloed track != other tracks are muted. You should do Mute other tracks, clicking on that track with Alt(on Windows).

In the past,I shared this wish as well. But ED brought up some good reasons against.
Lines are not the natural representation of controller data. Lines would mean interpolated values,
which don't reflect the real value. Plus, Julian's amazing CC scripts wouldn't work anymore.
So, I'm highly against changing the behavior because this would destroy the existing workflow.

Well, that's perhaps a too hasty assumption. If CC envelopes were optional, then Julian's scripts would still work...
However, we already do have optional CC envelopes, via ReaControlMIDI. BUT - it would be really great if that plugin were updated so that CCs are sample-accurate, and not ASIO block-size dependant

IMO Measures is the unit used for song sections and structures and this is what makes more sense to me and my favourite.
Also i wouldn't mind a toggling option: vertical division follow grid,
working like this:
Code:
vertical division follow grid Example 1
---------------------------------------
Settings:
grid setting is at 4th notes and this option is toggled ON
Result:
each 4/4 measure would be vertically odd / even divided in every 1/4 of measure
Code:
vertical division follow grid Example 2
-----------------------------------------
Settings:
grid setting is at 16th notes and this option is toggled ON
Result:
each 4/4 measure would be odd / even vertically divided in every 1/16 of measure
Code:
vertical division follow grid Example 3
-----------------------------------------
Settings:
grid setting is at 16th notes and this option is toggled OFF
Result:
the division is made according to: divide arrange view vertically every N measures

Agree agree agree! This is essential. Seriously, attempting to accurately throw automation items on track 83 of 196, on a 4K screen (Think future-proof, we will all have 4K monitors), is impossible. Have to physically place the mouse on the selected track on the left of the screen, and flyyyyy it horizontally across making sure to hover over the correct track.
Please guys, tinting of selected track(s) (only) gives the MOST information.
Just making sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle!

The CC curves in the MIDI Editor are sample accurate, though? AFAIK, Studio One's CC curves are dependent on ASIO latency, as well.

They aren't, they are MIDI ticks accurate (according to PPQ preference).

I would LOVE to see "something" like this natively :
outline the boarder of the track in arrange or leave it to the devs wild imagination
This is regarding whole vertical track odd even situation, if OT sorry

Not for me because when FX chain window or MIDI editor window are openeded it could be harder to see where they come from.

We have lots of vertical indicators (playhead, markers, regions) but zero horizontal indicators. The tint-selected-track(s) idea is the best one I've seen. Another would be Crosshairs (key-activated?). The lack of horizontal indicators is a problem, and will only get worse as resolutions increase and track counts go up (both of which are 100% guarantees)

I believe that the visual odd/even track distinction wasn't there so you get a clue about some track number but just for better reading of the lines like in other software like TotalCommander e.g.
Actually the current implementation is kind of flawed when you hide tracks, meaning the alternating grey of the "list" doesn't work anymore.
Anyway, the other suggestions above like highlighting just selected tracks IMHO are also interesting.

While we're on a track highlighting tracks subject, I would like to see current selected tracks bank (on control surface) to be marked in MCP.
For now, we can see currently selected tracks, marked with vertical bars like | 4 | :
It would be great to see tracks, that are currently in bank, marked with bold numbers, underscores or any other visual way, so that user would always be aware, which tracks he's controlling now via control surface.

I never needed the odd/even horizontal division. but vertical division as it is now in pre8, without the horizontal division is perfect for me.
An idea to further improve vertical divisions shading: add color-tint the arrange background with the color of regions. Amount of tinting should be adjustable. So odd/even would be nice to visually see the measures, and colors to see larger parts of the songs, etc.

sorry to be so dumb, but what is the setting in the theme tweaker that controls the amount of shading or the color for the vertical changes?
PS I used to use the odd\even tracks shading but gave it up... just like it better without that shading for me

Vertical shading uses the odd/even track background colors.

How that would distinguish from already selected tracks? if just left border of TCP or something more subtil could change color like in your example probably this could be a nice add on

Reaper Preferences > Appearance.
- Uncheck "project regions/markers in grid"
Or:
- Keep "project regions/markers in grid" checked and then choose:
- Marker line Z order "Under Items"
AFAIK: You can't have dotted Marker lines in Arrange View.
Maybe possible through a Theme hack .. dunno.

This is still happening, and might be a bug?
To Reproduce.
1. Open Reaper
2. Set ruler to mins, secs, frames. I have mine set to 75 for cd frames.
3. Move the edit cursor to around 2 minutes 30 seconds
4. Zoom in until you see the frames close up e.g. 2:30.01, 2:30.02
5. Make a time selection, and I get the results in the above gif.
If I push the rewind on the transport, and go to 0 minutes, It's smooth, and, no lag works correctly. After going to 0 mins and doing this, when I go back to 2 mins or so, It works.

I also made a screenshot, so it could be seen, that region lines are most distracting in the areas, where there's no items at all.
