Edit multiple items in the Logic Pro Score Editor
When multiple items are selected in the Score Editor, the title of the Event inspector
indicates the number of selected items. If the selection is limited to only notes, chords, or
text objects, the title also indicates the type of item selected.
If parameter fields are visible while multiple events are selected, their values can be
edited simultaneously. The “*” value in a parameter field indicates that the selected items
have different values. In this case, there are two options for editing these values: Relative
change (preserving relative differences between parameter values) and Absolute change
(setting all parameters to an equal value).
You can set the vertical and horizontal position of all selected items to the same value,
using any of the following key commands:
• Align Object Positions Vertically
• Align Object Positions Horizontally
• Align Object Positions (affects both parameters)
These key commands set all items to the value of the first selected item. If only one item
is selected, a dialog asks if the parameters of all similar objects should be set to the same
value. This technique is very useful for aligning lyrics and chord symbols, for example.
Change the relative values of multiple items
Do one of the following:
Grab the “*” with the pointer, then use the pointer as a slider.
The value shown during this process belongs to the first of the selected objects. The other
objects are altered by the same amount (while retaining their relative values).
Double-click the value, then insert the change (a number with a plus or minus in front of it)
in the entry field.
Change multiple items to the same absolute value
Press and hold Option while grabbing the “*” with the pointer, then use the pointer as a
slider.
As soon as you move the pointer, the parameter is set to the same value for all selected
objects. This allows you to set all notes of a chord to the same length or velocity, or set all
selected objects to the same height (Vertical Pos), for example.
Select multiple regions in the Logic Pro Score Editor
When Additional Score Options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can
select multiple regions in the Score Editor either from the Region inspector or in the score
display.
Select more than one region in the Score Editor
Click an instrument name in the column between the parameters and score, to select all
regions for that track (including regions on different tracks that are assigned to the same
software instrument channel), at the current display level.
