Resize notes in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro
You can resize notes in the Piano Roll Editor to change their length (duration). Notes can
be resized from either their start or end point using the Pointer, Finger, or Pencil tool.
There are a number of commands in the Edit > Trim submenu in the Piano Roll Editor menu
bar to change the length of selected notes, in relation to notes surrounding or overlapping
them. They can be very useful for tidying up the start and end points of notes.
Resize a note
In Logic Pro, drag either the left or right edge of the note horizontally, using the Pointer,
Finger, or Pencil tool.
A help tag appears while you drag, showing the length of the note.
Tip: It can sometimes be difficult to grab the edge of very short notes. You can use the
Finger tool, which allows you to grab notes anywhere to alter their length, or zoom in for a
closer view.
Resize multiple notes
In Logic Pro, select the notes, then drag either edge of one of the selected notes.
The relative differences between the lengths of the selected notes are maintained.

In Logic Pro, press and hold Shift while altering the length of one of the selected notes.
