Move a bar up or down to the previous or next staff
In Page view, grab the bar (or bars) with the Layout tool and drag it down (the pointer
changes to a hand with a downward-pointing thumb), then release the mouse button.
The bar is moved to the next staff system, and the remaining bars in the line are distributed
evenly over the entire width of the page.
You can also move the first bars of a staff upward into the preceding staff, by dragging
them up with the Layout tool.
Edit line breaks using the shortcut menu
1. Control-click a bar line.
2. Choose a setting from the shortcut menu to add or delete a line break, or return to the
default line break.
When you move a bar with the Layout tool, all manually edited line breaks in subsequent
lines are deleted, and automatic line breaks are recalculated from that line downward. If
you want to avoid having later lines recalculated, press and hold Option while moving the
bars with the Layout tool. This limits the line break to the staff systems you are editing;
other staff systems are unchanged.
Line and page breaks in a Logic Pro score set
You can set page breaks individually for each score set, and also for each extracted part.
Page breaks are saved with the project. For information, see Add page and line break
symbols to a score in Logic Pro.
When you add a Page Break symbol from the Part box, all bars following the page break are
moved to the following page. Bars on both preceding and following pages are automatically
adjusted in accordance with the Score project settings (discussed in the Edit line breaks in
a Logic Pro score section). All staffs in the score are affected.
