Initialization file format
Initialization files all follow a common format. They are divided into sections whose names appear in
the file in brackets, like this:
[Section Name]
Within each section, variables are of the form:
<variable name>=<value>
For example, the DrawPlayingAudio variable belongs in the [Wincake] section in
Cakewalk.ini, and determines whether the audio waveform is redrawn or not when the display is
scrolling during playback. If the value is 0 (FALSE), then the waveforms are not redrawn. If the value
is 1 (TRUE), then waveforms are redrawn. To redraw waveforms when scrolling during playback, the
entry in the file looks like this:
[Wincake]
DrawPlayingAudio=1
The variable names contain no spaces. They are not case sensitive.

“Cakewalk.ini” on page 1289

Cakewalk.ini
Many of the items in Cakewalk.ini are set using SONAR menus and dialog boxes. However,
some items can be changed only by using the Edit > Preferences > File - Initialization File
command or by directly editing this file using the Windows Notepad.
Cakewalk.ini is divided into different sections. Unless otherwise noted, all entries should appear
in the section that starts with the line:
[Wincake]
For example, if you want to add the line PanicStrength=1 to Cakewalk.ini, you should put it on
the line under [Wincake], like this:
[Wincake]
PanicStrength=1
