Copying and moving events – Apple Logic Pro 9 User Manual
Page 711
Important:
Events can only be created in an existing region. If no region is selected, or
exists, on the selected arrange track, an alert appears.
To duplicate an existing event
1
Click the original (source) event name in the Status column with the Pencil tool.
2
An input box appears. Use it to enter the position for the duplicate event. If you press
Return, the duplicate appears at the same position as the original.
The Duplicate function is useful for creating a copy of an event with a different value; for
example, creating one or more notes of a particular length and velocity at the same
position as another note. You could then alter the Pitch (Num column) of the duplicate
notes to create a chord, or a new chord voicing.
To add one or more events from the Clipboard
1
Following a copy operation from another editor, choose Edit > Paste (default key command
assignment: Command-V).
2
A position input box appears, allowing you to type in a destination position for the first
event. If you press Return, the original position of the first event is retained and used. The
relative positions of other copied events are maintained.
Important:
The position input box is unique to the Event List. Pasted events are not
automatically added at the playhead position, as is the case in the graphical editors.
Copying and Moving Events
You can perform advanced Copy and Move operations within the Event List. These allow
you to directly swap events, or to merge a group of notes from one section of a region
to the same, or another, region. For more information, see
