Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 885)

Note: The tempo indicators in the Transport bar and the Tempo List always refer to quarter
notes, even if a time signature with another denominator is used. As such, the displayed
tempo differs, depending on the symbol being used.
Jazz Symbols in the Part Box
Jazz symbols, as the name suggests, are typically used for jazz notation. They generally
indicate a particular playing technique or style, emphasis, or mode.
To assign any of these symbols to a note
µ
Drag the symbol onto a note head. (Watch the help tag to ensure accurate placement.)
These symbols are automatically positioned when assigned to a note. Additional space
is created as needed, to avoid overlaps with other notes or symbols. Jazz symbols also
move with their parent notes, when transposed or otherwise graphically altered.
Jazz symbols can also be inserted with the Attach Symbol: Jazz 1–6 key commands. The
numbers (1 to 6) indicate the positions of the symbols in the Part box (from the top-left
corner to the bottom-right corner).
To insert a jazz symbol that remains independent of any note
µ
Press the Option key during insertion.
These unattached symbols can be moved freely, and unlike normally inserted jazz symbols,
do not affect the spacing of notes.
