To delete events inside or outside the locators
1
Set the left and right locator positions as desired.

Choose Functions > Delete MIDI Events > Unselected Within Selection.

2
Use the Delete and Select Next Region/Event key command.
Restoring Deleted Notes in the Piano Roll Editor
Accidental deletions of one or more notes, or a simple change of mind or editing mistake
is an inevitable part of song creation. Fortunately, you can backtrack your edits easily in
Logic Pro. You also have the option of simply re-creating an event with the Pencil tool.
To undo the last note editing step or deletion
µ
Choose Edit > Undo from the main menu bar (or use the corresponding key command,
default assignment: Command-Z) immediately after making the error.
To undo or redo multiple steps
1
Choose Edit > Undo History. The Undo History window opens. The most recent editing
step (at the bottom of the list) is highlighted.
2
Click any entry to undo or redo all steps between the clicked and highlighted entries. All
steps are animated during this process.
