Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 129)

To resize a cycle
µ
Grab the handles (triangles) at either end of the cycle to move the start or end points
(you can even do this while Logic Pro is open).
Note: You can set either the start or end point of a cycle (whichever is closest) by
Shift-clicking a position in the Bar ruler. This works even when the stripe is outside the
visible range, or Cycle mode is turned off.
When you set the size of a cycle graphically in the Bar ruler, its start and end points (and
therefore, overall size) is quantized to the setting chosen in the Snap menu. For more
information, see
Snapping Region Edits to Time Positions .
Defining a Cycle with Locator Positions
You can enter the locator positions—therefore setting the cycle boundaries—numerically
in the Transport bar Locator display. The locators are shown to the right of the Position
display. The top value denotes the left locator position, and the bottom one, the right
locator position.

To define the locator positions in the Transport bar
Do one of the following:
µ
Double-click either locator display field, and enter a left or right position value.
Type in all bar, beat, sub-beat, and tick values (using space or a period between numbers),
and press Return to close the entry box and set the locator.
Note: You can quickly set the locator to the beginning of a bar by simply inputting the
first digit.
µ
Click-hold any of the left or right locator number fields in the Transport bar, and move
the mouse up or down.
The corresponding cycle boundary (if shown in the Bar ruler) moves to match.
You also have the option of displaying the locator positions as SMPTE values, or as musical
positions.
To change the display of locator positions
Do one of the following:
µ
Control-click the display area of the Transport bar, and choose Display Locators as Time.
