  Recall Screenset 7    7

I haven’t gotten up to seven yet. One option is to use screenset 9 for documenting the project. Such a useful thing.

The Logic Pro X demo projects have numerous examples of screensets to think about. I have “tracks only” in position one, tracks and mixer panel in position two, mixer and transport in position three, musical score in position four (maybe a phrase in a tune 😉 )

Create, recall, and switch screensets — Logic Pro X

You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might between different computer displays.

  Tap Tempo (Downbeat)    D

Mark a downbeat for the current position in the region.

Work in the Smart Tempo Editor — Logic Pro X

You can make adjustments in two different ways: by playing the file or selection and tapping the D and T keys on your computer keyboard to indicate downbeats (D) and beats (T), or by editing beat markers in the main display. When tapping in a selection, only the downbeats or beats in the selected area are changed.

Stems: hide — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Stems: hide

Remove the stems from notes on the score. You could make an interesting guessing game where someone has to figure out beaming and duration of the note heads.

Change stem direction, length, and beaming — Logic Pro X

By default, a note’s stem direction and length depend on the settings in the Staff Style window. You can change these attributes to improve readability; for example, to group notes meant to be played as a voice in a polyphonic passage.

  Send Selected Fader Values ⌃V

Cause the selected faders to send their current values. Used in the MIDI Environment. Not at all sure if this is done behind the scenes for any Logic Pro X actions.

Special functions — Logic Pro X

Sending fader values: Choose Options > Send All Fader Values (or use the Send All Current Fader Values keyboard shortcut) to make all fader objects send their current values. Choose Options > Send Selected Fader Values to make all selected fader objects send their current values.

  Set Quantize Tool

Set the primary tool to Quantize. Available in the Piano Roll editor and the Score Editor.

You can set the Quantize tool by typing ‘TQ’ in the appropriate editor. The ‘T’ opens the tool selection menu, the ‘Q’ chooses the Quantize tool. Return to the Pointer tool by typing ‘TT’.

Quantize the timing of notes in the Piano Roll Editor — Logic Pro X

You can quantize, or automatically correct, the timing of individual MIDI notes in the Piano Roll Editor. This is useful when regions in the track contain the right notes, but are not perfectly in time with the project. When you quantize the timing, items are adjusted to the selected note value. You can quantize the timing of regions with drums, single-note instruments, and chordal or polyphonic instruments.
