Printing the Score
The printout of scores created in Logic Express is identical to the Score Editor’s Page
view display. The following items are not printed, but are visible on the screen:
 The dashed lines that represent page and header margins, and borders between staff
systems.
 Mouse cursor and playhead
 Colors (page margins, staff lines of selected MIDI regions)
 Hidden time signature changes
 Hidden note heads (displayed in gray on the screen) and their ties
 Hidden bar lines (displayed as dashed lines on the screen)
 Hidden N-Tuplet numbers
To print your score:
1 Choose the appropriate paper size and format in the File > Page Setup window.
2 Ensure that the Score Editor (containing the intended print view) is the active window.
3 Start printing by choosing File > Print (or using the corresponding key command,
default: Command-P).
A dialog box, which may vary slightly from printer to printer, is shown. Choose from the
available options, such as which page numbers you would like to print, the number of
copies, or click the PDF button to “print to” (Save as) a PDF file.
4 Make your selections, and 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: rubber band selection while holding down
Control, to enlarge the selected area).
Using External Symbol Fonts for Display and Printout of Notes and Symbols
You can use the Sonata font from Adobe™, the Jazzfont, and the Swingfont (not
included with Logic Express), instead of the internal Logic Express score font, for display
and printout of notes and symbols. The external font must be properly installed on
your system. Activate Logic Express > Preferences > Score > “Use external symbol font
(if available)” and choose the font you wish to use in the corresponding pop-up menu.
