Comon, you know it makes sense....

At the moment if you type more than the area allows, there is no way to scroll down and see the rest of the text, unless you make the Info Text area full screen, which, just is not practical.

Put a scroll bar to the right of the field when the user types past the visible area and everyone is happy

But somehow info text always gets forgotten... I'd really like some way to make it pop up more out of the program. It's such a small area you have to hover to see it so that you never remember to do it. I wish it was somehow more visible, but I don't know how.

I totally agree with you posssu,

its a really nifty feature actually that allows better and more thorough collaboration with other artists, but it is still a little finicky to use it frequently.

There should be some kind of "default" info text that pops up when the song opens that you can pop comments into immediately, maybe an option to have that pop up instead of the live help comments that go in that area instead. For the more advanced users that would be a better use of that space.

What I use info text for:

-TODO-list for a specific channel (eq, fix bass drum boominess, etc etc)
-song lyrics
-artist collaboration (like mentioned in the previous post)

Maybe it's a bad idea for the user interface, but maybe if you could pop out the info-text-window just like you can do with Spectrum and Sampler.

At least make the info-text appear more often and maybe the help-window could have some more alerting color when it's showing info-text - for example font in Bold or some other color so that one could really notice when there's info-text written.

Currently all the user-edited text gets mixed with help-text and you never bother to read it, even if you wrote it yourself, because you think it's just a help-text.
