Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 135)

The No Transpose parameter actually prevents transposition by the region playback
parameters, which is also not desirable for drum sounds or loops.
Customizing the Transport Bar
The Transport bar offers a default set of buttons, displays, and sliders. These are the most
commonly used, and most useful, options for the majority of users.
You, however, may need to regularly access particular functions that are not part of the
default set, due to:
• The type of project you are working on; a film soundtrack, for example
• A unique working style
• A desire to have everything at your fingertips
Whatever the motivation, you can easily customize the Transport bar to meet your needs.
Showing and Hiding Transport Bar Functions
You can show or hide different parts of the Transport bar independently. This, in turn,
allows you to control the width of the Transport bar.
You should limit the Transport bar to functions you actually need to access regularly, or
better yet, configure and memorize all of the corresponding transport or mode key
commands. This will allow you to expand the display area of the Transport bar, providing
more at-a-glance information.
If you want all commands and options to be visible in the Transport bar, you will need
either a second computer monitor, or a single monitor with an exceptionally high
horizontal resolution.
Tip: Logic Pro allows an unlimited number of Transport bar windows to be opened
simultaneously. Additional Transport bar windows can be individually customized, allowing
you to view and access additional functions that will not fit on the standard Transport
bar at the bottom of the Arrange window. Customized Transport bars (and other windows)
can be saved as part of a screenset.
To customize the Transport bar
1 Control-click (or right-click) the Transport bar, and choose Customize Transport Bar from
the menu.
