You should ensure that the folder is selected before using the command. If a MIDI region
is selected, the Event List editor (showing the MIDI region content) is opened.

Double-clicking a folder track name in the track list opens the Mixer.

To exit a folder
Do one of the following:

µ

Double-click the (folder) Arrange area background (or use the Go Out of Folder or Region
key command).

µ

Click the Hierarchy button at the left end of the Arrange area’s local menu bar. The help
tag shows Leave Folder.

You move one level up the display hierarchy, and the contents of the Arrange window
(showing the closed folder) are visible.

Adding and Removing Regions from Folders

You can easily add regions to, or remove regions from, an existing folder. This is fairly
commonplace as you will often experiment with your arrangement, and find that you
need to add or remove parts.

To move regions into a folder

µ

At the top level of the Arrange hierarchy (outside the folder) drag the regions onto the
folder, at the desired position.

If the folder does not already contain a track that uses the same channel as the source
region, Logic Express creates one. If it does, this channel is used. When you enter the
folder, you see the dragged regions at the drop position.

To drag individual regions out of folders

1

Open a second Arrange window by choosing Window > Arrange in the main menu bar
(or using the Open Arrange Window key command, default assignment: Command-1).
