Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 417)

If all selected regions are located on the same track, the folder is created on that very
track, and not on a separate folder track.
Note: When moving a folder with just one content track between tracks of matching
type, the content always plays back via the channel strip of the hosting track.
If no region is selected, Logic Pro creates an empty folder. It contains no regions—just
tracks assigned to all channel strips from the current level.
To unpack a folder
1 Select the folder.
2 Choose one of the following commands:
• Choose Region > Folder > Unpack Folder.
The Arrange window updates to display the contents (the tracks and regions) of the
folder.
• Choose Region > Folder > Unpack Folders (Create New Tracks), or use the “Unpack
Folder to New Tracks” key command, default assignment: Command-U.
Logic Pro creates new tracks on the same level that the folder was located on (below
the former folder track).
• Choose Region > Folder > Unpack Folders (Use Existing Tracks), or use the “Unpack
Folder to Existing Tracks” key command.
The regions contained within the folder are placed on tracks assigned to appropriate
channel strips.
Entering and Exiting Folders
Once you have packed a folder, you will generally enter and exit it to alter data, as your
arrangement grows. You can easily differentiate when you are inside or outside of the
folder display in the Arrange window:
• When at the top Arrange level (outside the folder), the folder itself is visible on a track,
the Arrange window title bar shows the project name, and the Hierarchy button is
dimmed.
• When inside a folder, the folder track can’t be seen, the Arrange title bar shows the
project name followed by the folder name (Untitled: Chorus Folder, for example), and
the Hierarchy button is available.
To enter a folder
Do one of the following:
µ
Double-click the folder region.
µ
Select the folder you want to enter, then use the Go Into Folder or Region key command.
