Not sure what you are trying to do here... do you have a controller keyboard which you want to use to record? To set the record options, right click the "Arm" button for the track to bring up a menu... If you want to edit the midi notes - choose Insert -> New Midi Item.... then double click to bring up the piano roll.

I want to be able to assign a different style to each note (for example, downbow and pizz for a violin), am I doing this wrong? I have stradivari violin, but I cannot figure out how to input it into reaper.
Would it be better to buy cubase, easier to use and more options?

To have different styles for different notes you usually need to use different tracks for each style. Eg - a violin pizz track and a violin arco track. That is, unless you have something like GPO which can use key-switching.
Cubase might be a bit easier to use, but Reaper generally has almost all the options most people need -> it is just the user interface in Cubase is a bit more clearly laid out.... options in Reaper aren't always so easy to find. Personally, I would recommend Cakewalk Sonar if you are going to pay for a sequencer. Cubase is good too - just a bit more expensive.
