Convert notes to grace notes
Select the notes, then choose Functions > Note Attributes > Independent > Independent
Grace from the Score Editor menu bar, or use the corresponding key command.
Choose Functions > Note Attributes > Independent > Not Independent to convert
independent notes back to regular notes.
Insert an independent note directly
Press and hold Option while selecting a note in the Part box, then drag it to the desired
position.
Grace notes cannot be inserted directly. They need to be created by converting regular or
independent notes.
Important: In most situations, you will need to create additional space between the grace
note and the note it’s associated with. The best way to do this is with the Layout tool,
which can be used to move the main note away from the grace note. For information, see
Position items (graphically) in the Logic Pro Score Editor.
Tip: If you want to create beamed grace notes, try using a polyphonic staff style with
no rests displayed for the second voice. Assign the grace notes to the second voice, and
resize them with the Resize tool. See Add and delete staffs or voices in the Logic Pro Staff
Style window for more information on staff styles.
Delete notes in the Logic Pro Score Editor
You can delete notes and other items displayed in the Score Editor. Events such as MIDI
controller events or pitch bend data are not deleted, even if you delete the notes the
events were recorded with.
Delete a note or other item in the Score Editor
Do one of the following:
• Select the item, then choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key).
• Click the item with the Eraser tool.
Repeat signs and special bar lines cannot be selected, and can only be deleted with the
Eraser tool.
