Clefs settings
• Clefs pop-up menu: Choose from the following clef display parameters:Every Staff,
First Staff on Every Page, First Staff on Page 1, and Hide All.
• “Display warnings at line breaks” checkbox: Causes warning clef changes to be
displayed at the end of a staff or staff system (if the actual change is at the beginning
of the subsequent staff or staff system).
• Smaller Clef Changes pop-up menu: Displays clef changes (whether caused by a
change of staff style, or by a new clef inserted from the Part box) at a smaller size than
the clefs at the beginning of staffs, depending on this setting.
Key and Time Signatures settings
• Key Signatures pop-up menu: Choose from the following key signature display
parameters:Every Staff, First Staff on Every Page, First Staff on Page 1, and Hide All.
• “Display warnings at line breaks” checkbox: Displays a warning if key signature changes
occur at the end of a staff or staff system (if the actual change is at the beginning of
the subsequent staff or staff system).
• “Automatic key transposition” checkbox: Enables the automatic transposition of key
signatures in transposing staff styles. It is usually selected. An exception is for the
notation of atonal music. If unselected, all sharps and flats are displayed directly with
the notes.
Note: A similar option in the Staff Style window (Key parameter) allows you to turn off
the key signature for individual staff styles, or even for individual staffs in multi-staff
styles.
• “Minimize transposed accidentals” checkbox: Allows the use of enharmonically changed
key signatures, if this results in a signature with fewer accidentals. For example, if a
piece is written in B major (5 sharps), the Bb instruments are notated in Db major (5
flats) instead of C# major (7 sharps).
Note: Logic Pro does not display key signatures with more than seven flats or sharps,
whether or not this option is selected.
• “Show naturals” checkbox: Select this checkbox to display naturals at key signature
changes, where preceding accidentals are no longer valid (when changing from E major
to G major, or to C minor, for example).
• “Show grace note accidentals” checkbox: If selected, courtesy accidentals are
automatically displayed. This means wherever a diatonic note is altered by an
accidental, another accidental (a natural symbol, in many cases) is displayed when that
note appears (unaltered) in a subsequent bar.
• Time Signatures pop-up menu: Choose between the following time signature display
parameters:Every Staff, First Staff on Every Page, First Staff on Page 1, and Hide All.
• “Display warnings at line breaks” checkbox: Displays a warning if time signature
changes occur at the end of a staff or staff system (if the actual change is at the
beginning of the subsequent staff or staff system).
• Size pop-up menu: Alters the appearance of the meter (often much larger, for
conducting purposes) on the staff. It is expressed as regular and percentage values.
Single systems show both numbers (4/4, for example) on the system. Double systems
show the upper number on the upper system, and the lower number on the lower
system.
