“Show animations” checkbox: When selected, various windows and functions open with
animations. If you find the animations distracting, deselect the checkbox.
“Display Middle C as” pop-up menu: Affects the description of notes in the editors.
The bottom C on a five-octave keyboard (note #36) is labeled C1, and middle C (note
#60) is labeled C3. According to this standard, the lowest MIDI note (note #0) is called
C–2. This is the official standard used by most manufacturers. Use of the C3 (Yamaha)
setting sets Logic Pro to this standard mode. If you select the C4 (Roland) setting, the
bottom C on a five-octave keyboard is labeled C2, and middle C is labeled as C4. In this
standard, the lowest MIDI note is C–1.

“Show Track or Bar number while scrolling” checkbox: When you select this, an overlay
appears in the center of the Tracks area, showing the track number or bar number as you
scroll. The track or bar number displayed depends on the direction in which you scroll:
Down: The highest visible track number is displayed.
Up: The lowest visible track number is displayed.
Right: The highest visible bar number is displayed.
Left: The lowest visible bar number is displayed .
The overlay includes a label below the number to indicate whether track or bar numbers
are being displayed. In general, this overlay is most useful for projects with a very large
number of tracks.
