  Select Project 20

Still not convinced of the utility of selecting projects by number. I try to imagine a situation where many projects being open would be useful. One possibility is a computer-assisted performance where meta events are used to select specific screensets and projects as performance occurs.

The discussion of switching projects for a “MIDI data filer” piques my curiosity.

Meta events — Logic Pro X

Meta events are control messages that are specific to Logic Pro. They are used to automate certain functions, and to organize and arrange Score Editor elements (particular notation symbols and formatting) that can’t be represented by MIDI events.

That’s the “minus” key. You won’t find this in any of the Logic Pro X documentation. I’m so glad I have copies of earlier versions of the software, even though I have never used it…

This is a. sadly, missing chapter from Logic Pro X documentation. I find it fascinating to learn of the nifty shortcuts and naming tools…

Recall Screenset 1 1 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Recall Screenset 1    1

That is so weird. I opened Safari and clicked on my “pinned” tab that is the Logic Pro X help documentation. The page that is showing is “Create, recall, and switch screensets” — exactly what I wanted.

Normally I don’t spend a lot of time on each iteration of a command that has ten to thirty variations simply by number, but screensets are worth repeating — all 99 times if necessary.

I have 4 screensets that are in my templates — 1, 2, 3, and 9. Nine is where I have the project notepad open and *should* be making sure I document things.

My workflow should be to get a screen arranged (zoom, auxiliary windows, etc.) and duplicate it, name it, and lock it. That way I might get into the practice of not having to re-discover how to size things properly for my environment. This is also probably very important advice for working on laptop screens.

Someday I will learn what “and other settings” (see quote) includes. It used to be “and so on.” Odd form of documentation.

This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset.
