When you paste (or paste multiple) items from the Clipboard, the position of the first
inserted event is automatically quantized, in accordance with the current division value
(set in the LCD). For example, if the current bar position is 4.1.1.37, and the division value
is set to 1/16, the pasted object is inserted at position 4.1.1.1. If you want to preserve the
unquantized timing, use another method to copy and paste the items.
Move a note or symbol with the pointer
Select one or more notes or symbols, then drag to the new position.
Copy a note or symbol with the pointer
Select one or more notes or symbols, press and hold Option, then drag to the new position.
While you drag, a help tag shows the operation (drag or copy), the difference from the
original position (transpose and time shift), and the current pointer position (bar position
and, for notes, pitch).
You can simultaneously move or copy items from different regions or staffs. Each event is
moved or copied to its new position, within its original MIDI region.
Note: You can’t use the Option-drag method to copy or move events between MIDI regions
in the Score Editor. You can, however, copy and paste between regions and staffs.
Restrict movement to one direction (vertical or horizontal)
Press and hold Shift while dragging.
There is also a general preference for this constraint: Logic Pro > Preferences > General >
Editing > Limit Dragging to One Direction In:Piano Roll and Score.
