Brackets and bar lines can also be interrupted between staffs, allowing you to form groups
of connected instruments in a score. If you want to delete a line or bracket, grab the
corresponding symbol at its end point (bottom), and drag it upward, until it disappears.
You can use the same method to shorten lines.

Bar line connections can also be edited directly in the score. Click the upper end of a bar
line to connect it to the next (higher) staff. Repeating the procedure disconnects the bar
lines.

Creating and Deleting Score Sets

When you open a Score Editor window while several regions are selected in the Arrange
area, Logic Pro automatically creates and displays a score set that only contains the
instruments of the selected regions.

You can also use one of the following methods to create a score set manually.

To create an empty score set

µ

Choose New > New Empty Set in the Score Set window.

You can insert instruments into the empty score set, one by one.

To create a copy of the currently selected score set

µ

Choose New > Duplicate Set in the Score Set window.

To create a score set for all selected instruments

1

Select at least one MIDI region for all instrument tracks you want to include in the score
set.

2

Choose Layout > Create Score Set from Selection (or use the corresponding key command)
in the Score Editor.

Logic Pro creates and displays a new score set, which consists of all instruments used by
the currently selected MIDI regions.

Score sets created this way are automatically named after the instruments they contain.

To create a score set that contains all instrument tracks used in the Arrange window

µ

In the Score Set window, choose New > New Complete Set.

Tip: If several instruments or staffs use the same MIDI sound for playback (with the same
MIDI channel on the same MIDI instrument), and you want to display these staffs with
different instrument names in the score, you need to create a separate track instrument
for each staff, in the Arrange area.

All score sets are saved with the project file.

To delete a score set

µ

Select the score set in the Score Set window, then choose New > Delete Set.
