Show/Hide MIDI Instruments ⇧5⃣
In the Mixer windows. Toggle the visibility of the MIDI Instrument channel strips. These are the External MIDI Tracks.
MIDI channel strips overview — Logic Pro X
MIDI channel strips in the Mixer work as remote controls for the mixing parameters of your MIDI-controlled sound modules and synthesizers, such as volume and pan.

New Instrument
Creates a new instrument.
What I know about EXS24 is that it is the “basic” sampler/sample player (24-bit) that provides almost all of the Logic built-in instruments.
What I read most from people who use EXS24 is that the interface needs to be changed to be more “modern”. Personally, if I compare it to the samplers I first knew about the EXS24 is just fine. Complex, of course, but that’s the tool.
The “new” sample tool for Logic is ‘Alchemy’ (Camel Audio lives!).

Not Independent
It certainly reads as if it is dependent on something. Notes in a score are both visual instructions in the traditional way, and performance instructions for playback.
I guess it would be possible to move an independent third quarter note in a bar to a position before the second quarter note for visual effect, but playback would be different. Yes, an independent note will play back according to the position it has been moved to.
It is a tricky balance — score the music for someone who reads or score for playback. Hard to annotate “swing”, just like the missing sevens from chord symbols in jazz.
Contextual menu item for a selected note. Probably the easiest way to use it.
Change the independent status of notes — Logic Pro X
Independent notes are not tied to a rhythmic position in the staff, and can be moved freely. This can be used to add grace notes, for example, and for other purposes.

Nudge Region/Event Position Right by Nudge Value ⌥→
Most importantly you need to know how to set the Nudge Value! What good is a nudge if you don’t know how much? There are commands available to nudge in either direction at whichever granularity you want, so you can map a key command to move by a bar or frame, etc.
Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X
You can also 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.

Show/Hide Type and Number Label
Display channel type and number in mixer windows. I don’t use this much at all. My typical track coloring and arrangement makes it clear what type of channel I am looking at. I do turn it on in the “Full Mixer” screenset for completeness.
I haven’t really found a use for knowing the actual number of a channel.
