Chapter 33 Working With Notation 731
To change the tied note display with a user rest:
m If you don’t like the way particular tied notes are displayed, you can change the display
by inserting a user rest at the position you want to see a graphic note.
The rest’s length is not important, but you should use a shorter one (an eighth note
rest), if possible. Watch the help tag, for exact positioning. As soon as the rest is
inserted, it will no longer be visible in the score display, but the note display will
change accordingly.
Note: If you want to delete, or change the position of a (now invisible) user-inserted
rest, use the Event List.
To change the up/down direction of a tie:
m Choose the desired setting in the Attributes > Ties menu.
Creating and Editing N-Tuplets
The symbol for N-tuplets is found in the triplet group. N-tuplets are groups of notes
that are evenly spaced (by condensing or expanding them) over a specific time period.
The most common tuplet is the triplet, a group of three notes. As an example: A group
of three eighth notes played within the space of one quarter note.
Dependent on the situation, Logic Express usually recognizes and notates regular
triplets correctly. This requires that you choose an appropriate display quantize value in
the Display Parameter box (see “
Quantize ” on page 763). You need to use the N-tuplet
object for the display of other N-tuplets.
