Automatic Display of Selected Instruments when Opening the Score Window
Opening a new Score window, while several Regions are selected in the Arrange
window, automatically creates and displays an Instrument Set that only contains the
instruments of the selected Regions. In other words, the Create Instrument Set From
Selection function is automatically performed whenever a Score window is opened, and
Regions on more than one track are selected in the Arrange window.
Instrument Sets created in this way are saved with the song file, and are also available
for later use.
Different Instruments Using the Same Sound
If several instruments or staves use the same MIDI sound for playback (with the same
MIDI channel on the same MIDI instrument), and you want to display these staves with
different instrument names in the score, you need to create a separate track instrument
for each staff, in the Arrange or Environment window.
Full Score and Part Layout
Some functions in the Instrument Set window, and some settings in the Layout >
Global Format window make it possible to produce both the full score and individual
parts (for all instruments) from the same Logic song file, without having to adjust any
settings.
Part Extraction (“Instrument Filter”)
Option-click-hold on the Instrument Set box in the Score window. A pull-down menu,
containing all Track Instruments currently used in the Arrange window, will appear. If
one is chosen, only this particular instrument will be displayed. This method allows you
to quickly display (and print) instrument parts. You should note, however, that only the
track instrument names will be used as instrument names in the score. So, if you use
this method for printout of your parts, you need to be careful to use the “real”
instrument names for the Arrange window Track Instruments.
Scaling Parameter for Instrument Sets
There is a Scaling parameter below the name of the Instrument Set in the Instrument
Set window, which can be set to any desired size between 50 and 200 percent of the
original size. This scaling will affect all staves, the distance between staves, all symbols
associated with staves (all notes, rests, and other symbols), and all local text, including
lyrics. All of these elements will be resized in accordance with the Scaling parameter
value of the currently displayed Instrument Set.
The Scaling parameter does not affect Global Text objects (header text, text inserted
outside the margins) and text such as page numbers, and so on
