Chapter 3 Customizing Your Window Setup 71
The navigate key commands allow you to recall the previous or next zoom settings.
 Store Navigation Snapshot: The current zoom and scroll bar (window position)
settings are saved as a step in the navigation path.
 Navigation: Back: Recalls the previous step in the navigation path.
 Navigation: Forward: Advances to the next step in the navigation path.
As an example of where the navigation path commands could be useful, imagine
cutting and pasting sections of an audio region to several other locations, in a project
with hundreds of tracks. One step in your navigation path would be a zoomed view of
the audio region. Another step could be a vertically zoomed in version of several tracks
(the target tracks for the pasted region sections). A further step could be a horizontally
zoomed out section of the project, allowing you to paste the region segments to a later
position.
Note: There are no default key commands for most of these navigation options, so you
will need to assign them in the Key Commands window. Choose Logic Express >
Preferences > Key Commands and type “nav” in the Find field. This will display the
entries described above. For more information about assigning key commands, refer to
“
Assigning Key Commands to Computer Keys ” on page 166.
Relationships Between Windows
Logic Express allows you to independently link or unlink windows, providing you with
flexible viewing options. This enables you to set up two Event List windows for
example, with one showing Arrange regions, and the other showing the contents of
the regions. You can simply click on the desired region name to update the contents of
the second event list.
The two buttons at the top left of most windows determine its relationship to:
 The playhead position (Catch)
 Other windows (No Link, Same Level Link, or Content Link)
