Selection Start and End to Previous Transient    ⇧⌘←

This command advances the selection points to the previous transient. From this point you can move the start or end as needed to select the audio to work with.

I don’t edit much, if ever. I wonder if group editing is honored?

Group editing in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Group editing allows you to perform many editing, arrangement and timing operations on all group member tracks simultaneously. For example, you can combine the comping feature with group editing so that every comp uses the same takes. You can move, resize, and arrange regions for all group member tracks together. You can also adjust the timing of the group, ensuring the group remains in time.

Apparently Group Editing is only using the Track Editor, not the Audio File Editor.

  Customize Toolbar…

Open the toolbar customization panel. You can add or remove tools from the toolbar, and create an appropriate set of defaults.

Toolbars are associated with the Main Window. Each Main Window can have its own specific toolbar. I need to work with this on the small screen. Multiple Main Windows? Different Main Windows per screenset? Lots of options.

Control Bar and LCD can be customized in a similar fashion.

  Apply Buffer Template to Position

One of the many commands that are used to build MIDI Environments. It is chronicled in the grimoire of Logic. It is only necessary to know that it is there, how to find it, and to invoke it only in the extreme condition that there is no other way.

Object groups in the Logic Pro Environment — Apple Support

To save time on the definition and alignment of these groups, you can choose (one or more) objects as prototypes (templates) by copying them into the Clipboard. (Choose Edit > Copy.) You can then apply certain characteristics of these template objects to selected objects.

Do not move track automation when moving a region. Region automation remains with the region, so it moves or does not depending on the setting.
