Change View — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Change View

Cycle through the view modes, linear, wrapped, and page, of the Score Editor window. The commands are available in the ‘View’ local menu (View Mode), and using the three view mode buttons located in the tool strip/bar at the top of the score window. ‘Page View’ has its own, separate command — control-P.

The typical sizing of the Score Editor window doesn’t have sufficient width to display the view buttons on the tool bar. They are located to the right of the ‘View’ dropdown menu.

Reactivate Upbeat Event Playback — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Reactivate Upbeat Event Playback

Nothing in the documentation…zip

Closest thing I found was in a Reddit conversation –

– There is a new menu item “Reactivate Upbeat Event Playback” to allow MIDI notes that are ¼ note or less before the start of a region to play, in cases where the left edge of the region has been edited.

but I should have read the release notes — the reddit post is the release notes.

The command is in the contextual MIDI menu in the tracks area. If you modify a MIDI region the command becomes active.

My assumption is that if I modify a region causing an upbeat event to be “removed” this command will cause the region to include the upbeat if it is there.
