Cubase: View MIDI Pitch and Articulation on MIDI Note

I'm slowly moving over from Logic to Cubase, and have some questions that probably everyone knows but is new to me.

I've watched some videos where on the MIDI editor on the notes it shows the MIDI note pitch and the articulation for that note.

I can't seem to find where to turn this on. I only just see the MIDI notes without this extra stuff.

Anyone know where to find this?
 
For the MIDI note pitch to appear you'll need a certain amount of vertical zoom. The articulation for a note will appear when you work with Expression Maps (only with "Attribute" types though, not with "Direction").

Silly me. I hadn't zoomed up enough.

Next question. I have added colors to the different articulation in the Expression map. Is there a way for the MIDI notes in the editor to show the different colors so that can differentiate the different articulation in the MIDI notes with color?

Yes, this should work if you select 'Sound Slot' in the 'Event Colors' dropdown menu. It's at the top of the Piano Roll window and by default has 'Velocity' selected. If you don't see it, right-click the top bar and select 'Event Colors' from the list to make it appear. :)
