Start printing by choosing File > Print (or using the corresponding key command, default
assignment: Command-P).

Make your selections, then click the Print button.

You should work at high zoom levels when doing layout work that requires precision,
such as positioning symbols and text elements.

It’s very easy to switch back and forth between a normal and enlarged view of the display,
by using the Zoom tool (shortcut: drag to select while holding down Control, to enlarge
the selected area).

Exporting the Score as a Graphic File

You can save a part of a Logic Pro score page (or a whole page) as an image (PDF format),
or copy it to the Clipboard. This allows you to paste it into graphics-editing programs, or
documents created in word-processing or desktop-publishing applications.

Preparing the Score for Export

Before you export the score as an image, choose the appropriate Camera Tool settings
in the Logic Pro > Preferences > Score pane.

“Write to” buttons: Allow you to choose between the following two options:

Clipboard: The image is copied to the Clipboard, and can be pasted directly into

other applications, without saving it as a separate file.

PDF File: The image is saved as a PDF file. A dialog allows you to assign a filename

and path (when the Camera tool is used to take a snapshot of the score).

Exporting the Score

You use the Camera tool to export the score as an image file.
