This function can also be used on multiple selected notes, which is useful on those rare
occasions when the display settings don’t deliver acceptable results.
Stage 4: Inputting Events, Symbols, and Text
Few scores consist solely of note (and rest) events.
The Part box contains a number of symbols (pedal markings, slurs, and so on) that can
be inserted into the score by dragging them into position with the mouse. The Part box
also contains all types of note events, clefs, bar line markers, and more. Again, these can
easily be added by dragging and dropping. (See
Working with the Part Box .)
Rests are usually displayed automatically in Logic Pro, and don’t need to be inserted
manually, but can be, if needed, from the Part box. (See
Creating and Inserting Rests in
the Score Editor .)
The entry of lyrics, title, and other text elements is also done via the Part box, or with the
Text tool. (See
Working with Standard Text .)
Stage 5: Editing the Whole Score
Once you’ve recorded or inserted all (or most) of the notes and symbols into your score,
and edited individual elements, the next step is to polish the score’s layout.
This process typically includes using tools to reposition staffs, and changing the Score
project settings to adjust the number of bars per line, set page margins, and more. All
project layout options are discussed in
Score Settings .
Layout work is done in Page Score view, which displays as many facing pages as possible
(depending on the size of the Score Editor window and current zoom level).
