Split regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area
You can split a region in the Tracks area, and use the split segments of the region in
different places in the Tracks area.
When you split a MIDI region, any notes at the split point are shortened to that point. If
notes in a split MIDI region overlap other notes by more than a 1/16 note, a dialog appears,
asking if you want to keep, shorten, or split the notes.
You can also split regions by selecting part of the regions using the marquee stripe in the
ruler. For information about selecting regions using the marquee stripe, see Select parts of
regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area.
Split regions at the playhead position
1. In the Logic Pro Tracks area, select the region or regions you want to split.
2. Move the playhead over the point where you want to split the regions, then choose Edit
> Split > Regions at Playhead.
The selected region is split into two regions at the playhead position. Only the selected
region is split, even if a region on another track is under the playhead as well. If multiple
regions are selected and are under the playhead, they are all split.
Tip: To cut at the nearest bar, use the Split Regions/Events by Rounded Playhead
Position key command.
Split regions using the Scissors tool
1. In Logic Pro, select the regions you want to split.
2. Select the Scissors tool, then click and hold the regions you want to split.
The help tag shows the current split position.
3. Release the mouse button.
All selected regions are cut at the position shown in the help tag.
When selecting a cut point with the Scissors tool, you can move backward and forward in
steps of one division. The grid is based on the Snap pop-up menu setting.
