Prepare for step input
1. In the Region inspector, edit the following display settings for the selected track or
region:
• Turn off Interpretation. (See Change note syncopation and interpretation in the Logic
Pro Score Editor.)
• Set the Quantize parameter to the smallest note value that you plan to insert. (See
Quantize the timing of notes in the Logic Pro Score Editor.)
2. Option-click the staff at the point where you want to begin adding notes. A help tag
shows the pointer position while the mouse button is pressed.
This function is especially helpful in Page view, where no ruler is displayed.
