When the Link Button Is Turned Off
You can select several regions, either one after the other or simultaneously, and the Piano
Roll Editor does not update to reflect the content of these regions.
Using the Shortcut Menu in the Piano Roll Editor
Many selection, editing, and other commands can be accessed by Control-clicking (or
right-clicking) anywhere in the Piano Roll Editor background area or directly on a MIDI
note event. Make use of this to accelerate your workflow.
These shortcut menus can only be accessed if one of the following options is chosen in
the Logic Pro > Preferences > General > Editing pane.
• Right Mouse Button: Opens Shortcut Menu
• Right Mouse Button: Opens Tool and Shortcut Menu
Creating and Editing Note Events in the Piano Roll Editor
Handling note events in the Piano Roll Editor is very similar to region handling in the
Arrange area. Many of the same techniques used to lengthen, cut, and move regions
apply to note events.
Snapping Edits to Time Positions in the Piano Roll Editor
You move and resize events in the Piano Roll Editor because you want them to start and
end at a specific point in time.
Logic Pro offers a snap feature that automatically aligns event start and end points to a
selected grid value, when you move or resize them.
