If this option is activated, Cubase calculates the waveform image and displays 
it during the actual recording process.

This realtime calculation uses some extra processing power.

This determines the initial state of the “ASIO Latency Compensation” button 
in the track list for MIDI or instrument tracks.
If you record live on a VST instrument, you usually compensate the latency of 
your audio card by playing too early. In consequence, the timestamps are 
recorded too early. By...

these parts, the other parts are displayed as “empty space” to preserve the 
layout. If this option is activated, this empty space is avoided, so you can print 
this single part without endless rests.

Scores - Note Layer
If you are moving and editing notes, you might accidentally move other objects 
nearby. To avoid this, you can assign different types of objects to different Note 
Layers (up to three) and instruct Cubase to lock one or two of these layers, making 
them unmovable.
This page is where you specify to which layer each object type belongs. The actual 
locking of layers is done on the extended toolbar of the Score Editor.
