Create Score Set from Selection — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Create Score Set from Selection



I can't describe it any better than the Logic documentation.

When you open a Score Editor window while several regions are selected in the Tracks area, Logic Pro automatically creates a score set containing the instruments of the selected regions. You can also create a score set in the Score Sets window. Score sets you create are saved with the project.

Create and delete score sets in Logic Pro — Apple Support

  1. Select at least one MIDI region for all software instrument tracks you want to include in the score set.
  2. Choose Layout > Create Score Set from Selection (or use the corresponding key command) in the Score Editor.

A new score set is created and displayed, which consists of all instruments used by the currently selected MIDI regions. Score sets created this way are automatically named after the instruments they contain.

Paste Multiple at original Position — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Paste Multiple at original Position

Add the contents of the clipboard to multiple regions in the score. Paste to multiple staves.

Move and copy items in the Logic Pro Score Editor — Apple Support

When you paste (or paste multiple) items from the Clipboard, the position of the first inserted event is automatically quantized, in accordance with the current division value (set in the LCD). For example, if the current bar position is 4.1.1.37, and the division value is set to 1/16, the pasted object is inserted at position 4.1.1.1. If you want to preserve the unquantized timing, use another method to copy and paste the items.

Fix Displayed Note Positions and Durations — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Fix Displayed Note Positions and Durations

When MIDI regions are quantized it can have an effect on the notes as displayed in a score. The notes will be played according to the quantized rhythm, with the displayed notes representing things differently.

Swing (jazz performance style) — Wikipedia

In music, the term swing has two main uses. Colloquially, it is used to describe the propulsive quality or “feel” of a rhythm, especially when the music prompts a visceral response such as foot-tapping or head-nodding (see pulse). This sense can also be called “groove”.

Jazz swing notation — Bret Pimentel, woodwinds

Sometimes a well-meaning composer or arranger will try to approximate a jazz swing style notationally in this way:

Logic Pro Quantize region parameter — Apple Support

You can fix the display quantization of all MIDI events in the projects using the Score Editor’s Functions > Quantization > Fix displayed Note Positions and Fix displayed Note Positions and Durations commands. These commands may be useful for exporting projects (complete with display Quantize settings) to other notation programs that don’t feature display quantization. The commands are also available from the shortcut menu when you Control-click notes in the score.
