Editing Local Margins

You can move the left and right margin of each individual staff system with the Layout
tool, so that they do not align horizontally with the page margins. Like manual line breaks,
these local margins are also saved as part of the current score set, allowing different
settings for each score set.

To move the left and right margin of a staff system

1

Turn on the following settings in the Score Editor’s View menu:

• Page View

• Page Display Options > Print View

• Page Display Options > Show Margins

2

Click-hold (with the Layout tool) a little inside the beginning or end of the staff, and drag
to the left or right.

During this process, Left/Right Staff Margin appears in the help tag.

Note: When altering margins, Logic Pro automatically adapts the number of bars per line
(unless you have manually adjusted line breaks beforehand). If the line is shortened, bars
may be moved down to the next line, depending on the Spacing parameters in the Global
pane of the Score project settings. (See

Global Score Settings

.)
