Project Settings and Preferences
Saving Project Settings and Preferences
The project settings are stored with the project file. If you want to start Logic Express
with certain settings, simply adjust the desired settings in your default template, and
save it.
Project settings can be transferred between projects, through the use of several import
functions. You can use these to accelerate template creation, or when you would like to
integrate aspects (such as score text styles) from another project into the one you’re
currently working on. For details on all project import options, see “
The preferences are automatically saved whenever you quit Logic Express. There are
two preference files (one for Logic Express, and one for control surfaces), which are
stored in the ~/Library/Preferences/Logic folder. Logic Express preference files begin
with “com.apple.logic”.
Note: All choices made in the Project Settings window are specific to the saved project.
All items selected in the Preferences window globally affect all projects.
Project Settings
Project settings, as mentioned, are saved with each project, which means that different
projects can have different project settings. You can save your preferred settings in a
default template, which can be used to automatically create a new project when you
open Logic Express.
To specify the project options when Logic Express is opened:
1
Open the Logic Express > Preferences > Global > Project Handling tab.
2
Choose the desired behavior from the Startup Action pop-up menu.
To start Logic Express with a specific project:
m
Double-click on a specific project file in the Finder.
As an alternative, you can choose the Open Existing Project setting in the Startup
Action menu discussed above. When you open Logic Express by clicking on the
application icon, a file selector box is automatically displayed, allowing you to choose
the desired project.
Synchronization Settings
All Synchronization project settings are described in the Synchronization chapter (see
