Note: If you copy a MIDI region from one project to another, and the staff style used by the
original MIDI region doesn’t exist in the target project file, it is automatically copied, along
with the MIDI region.

Assign notes to voices and staffs in Logic Pro
For staff styles with multiple staffs or voices, you can control which staff or voice a note is
displayed on. You can assign notes to voices by defining a split point, or by assigning each
voice to a separate MIDI channel.
When you use a split point to separate voices, the split point and all notes above it are
displayed on the upper voice, while all notes below the split point are displayed on the
lower voice. This is useful when there is a clear division in pitch between the two voices;
for example, in a piano staff style when each hand plays in only one clef (treble or bass).
In cases where the division between voices needs to be more flexible, you can separate
voices by assigning each voice to a different MIDI channel. This allows voices to cross
while still being displayed independently. Notes not assigned to any MIDI channel are not
displayed, allowing you to “hide” notes from display (such as improvised parts or trill notes,
for example). This does not affect playback, but only the display of notes in the score (the
playback channel is determined by the setting in the Track inspector).
If you record polyphonic voices separately in real time, you can set your keyboard or MIDI
controller to the appropriate MIDI channel for each voice when you record, saving you from
having to edit the channels afterward.
You can automatically split notes between two voices using the “Auto split notes in multi
staff chord styles” Score preference. By turning on this preference, notes you play using a
polyphonic staff style are automatically assigned MIDI channels matching the staff style’s
voice assignments. Notes at, and above, the split point are assigned the channel of the first
voice. Notes below are assigned the second voice’s channel. This creates a usable voice
assignment, which you can edit later.
