Copy an entire musical passage to the same time position in another
region
You can use the Paste at Original Position and Paste Multiple at Original Position
commands to quickly copy passages from one MIDI region to another, at the same time
position. No insert position is required, and no automatic insert quantization takes place.
1. Select the notes and symbols of the passage.
2. Select the staff you want to paste the passage to.
3. Choose Edit > Paste at Original Position (or use the Paste at Original Position key
command).
The notes and symbols are pasted at the position they were originally copied from,
regardless of the current playhead position.
The Paste Multiple at Original key command works in a similar way, but allows you to paste
a musical passage to the staffs of other instruments. You need to select all destination
staffs before using the Paste Multiple command.
You can use these commands in combination with the Select Similar function, to quickly
copy all dynamic symbols from one staff into other staffs or instruments, for example.
Moving items in time is affected by the display quantization grid (Quantize) setting. If a
hybrid Quantize value is selected (16, 24 for example), the grid corresponds to the duple
value (16, in this example).
• If note positions are not aligned with the time grid (because they were recorded in real
time), their relative offset is retained when they are moved or copied.
• You can move or copy unquantized passages within the Score Editor, without losing the
original feel of the performance.
The following types of symbols cannot be copied or moved in the Score Editor:
• Global symbols, such as repeat signs, time and key signature changes—except in the
Signature List and Signature track—and global text elements (headers and so on). (For
additional information, see Logic Pro time and key signature overview.)
• Symbols directly attached to notes, such as accents, fermatas, note heads, and so on.
Resize notes and symbols in the Logic Pro Score Editor
You can change the size of notes, as well as most score symbols, using the Resize tool
(located in the Score Editor Tool menu).
Resize a note or score symbol
Grab the item with the Resize tool, and move the pointer up or down.
Reset a note or symbol to its original size
Double-click the item with the Resize tool, then click OK in the dialog.
Note: Resizing notes does not affect MIDI playback, only the notes’ visual appearance.
