Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 864)

Important: Score display parameters have absolutely no effect on MIDI playback, just on
the way MIDI data is shown in the Score Editor. This separate notation display system
allows you to adjust the look of the notation, without changing the original MIDI region
data (and therefore, the performance).
You can further control the display by selecting or creating staff styles, text styles, and
score sets, that best fit your music.
• Staff styles exist for most common single and multi-staff types, and can be chosen from
the Display Parameter box’s Style menu. These include Piano, Guitar, Horn in Eb, Organ,
and even Drum styles. Choose the one that best represents the instrument part as
notation. If none of the existing styles is appropriate, you can easily create your own.
(See
Working with Staff Styles .)

• Score sets allow you to determine which instruments are displayed (and printed) in a
score. You can include as many (or few) of the existing track instruments into a score
set as you like. (See
Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts .) This makes it easy to
create separate sheet music for the violinists, or French horn players, for example.
• Text styles are used to control several different text elements of your score, such as the
title, lyrics, copyright information, instrument names, and so on. Each of these text
elements can be assigned a font style, size, and more within the overall text style. (See
Working with Standard Text .)
Stage 3: Editing Note Events
Even with all of the display options available when working in the Score Editor, you may
need to adjust the appearance of some notes. You can do this using the functions in the
Note Attributes menu. These commands let you adjust individual note events, allowing
enharmonic shifts, accidentals, ties, beaming, and much more.
