Chapter 5 Navigating Your Project 105
The playhead will move to match the display position.
Adjusting the first number in the Bar display will move the playhead by bars, and by
hours in the SMPTE display.
Adjusting the second number will move by beats in the Bar display, and by minutes in
the SMPTE display, and so on at increasingly small divisions with the other values
shown in the Position display.
When typing in a full position, using the Bar display, for example, you should type in
the following manner:
 3 Space 3 Space 2 Space 2, Enter key to exit text entry mode.
 3.3.2.2, Enter key to exit text entry mode.
If you simply type in 3322, followed by the Enter key, the playhead will be moved to bar
3322, rather than bar 3, beat 3, division 2, tick 2. The advantage of this approach is that
you can quickly navigate to the beginning of a bar by simply inputting the first digit.
Setting the Playhead at a Marker
If you have labeled a passage with a marker, clicking anywhere on the marker while
holding down Option, positions the playhead at the start of the marker. If Logic Express
is stopped, Command–double-clicking on it begins playback at the start of the marker.
Adjusting the Size of the Playhead
You can adjust the thickness of the playhead in the General Display preferences.
To adjust the playhead display:
1 Open the Display preferences by doing one of the following:
 Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Display (or use the Open Display Preferences
key command).
 Click the Preferences Toolbar button, then choose Display from the menu.
