Open Score Editor… ⌘5 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Open Score Editor…    ⌘5

Opens the Score Editor window. You can have multiple Score Editor windows open, each with their own view.

View tracks as music notation in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The Score Editor displays MIDI regions on software instrument (and external MIDI instrument) tracks as music notation, including notes, rests, key and time signature, and clef signs. Bar lines show the division between measures. Gaps between regions are filled in to display a continuous staff. If the track contains software instrument Apple Loops, notation is displayed for each loop iteration, but only the original region of the loop can be edited.

Nudge Region/Event Length Right by Beat — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Nudge Region/Event Length Right by Beat

Make the selected event longer by one beat. One of the particular oddities of the Logic Pro documentation. The only mention of nudging by length is in reference to movies (soundtrack) and in the Score Editor.

Rather than creating a separate key command for this I would simply use the ‘Set Nudge Value to Beat ⌃⌥B’ and then use the ‘Nudge Region/Event Length Right by Nudge Value ⌥⇧→’ command.

Move notes in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can move selected notes in the Piano Roll Editor to change their time position. When you move notes, they move according to the current Snap value for the Piano Roll Editor.

Paste ⌘V — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Paste    ⌘V

Place the contents of the clipboard at the currently selected location. ‘Paste’ is mapped to the MCU combination of ALT/F3.

Cut and paste regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

In Logic Pro, move the playhead to the point in the Tracks area where you want the region to start, then choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).

Mackie Control function keys in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The table outlines the function key controls and their functions:

Event Channel = 9 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Event Channel =   9

Set the Event Channel number for the selected events to 9. This saves you from having to use the cursor to drag a value up or down. You can also change the Event Channel for the selected events by double-clicking the channel field (open for editing) and typing in the channel number 1..16 and pressing return.

Change event values in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can change the event values shown in the Event List Value, Number, and Channel columns by using the mouse as a slider or with text input. You can not directly alter the event type in the Status column.

Nudge Region/Event Position Left by 5 SMPTE Frames — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Nudge Region/Event Position Left by 5 SMPTE Frames

Move the region or event 5 SMPTE frames earlier in the timeline. Warren Huart might say “forward” — make the sound happen sooner.

Move regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

You can nudge regions (move them in small increments) left or right using key commands. To nudge regions, you first set the nudge value, then move selected regions by this value. Alternatively, you can nudge regions by a set value.
