Link windows in a Logic Pro project
When Additional Advanced Editing Options is selected in the Advanced preferences
pane, you can independently link or unlink windows (including the Tracks area, Piano Roll
Editor, Score Editor, and Event List) to control the relationship between what they display.
For example, you could set up two Event Lists, one showing arrange regions, and the other
showing their contents, then click a region in the first Event List to update the contents of
the second one.
The Link mode options—Off, Same Level, and Content—allow you to control how
information is displayed when working with related editor windows.
Set the Link mode
• In Logic Pro, choose View > Link, then choose one of the following:
• Off: Unlinks the window from other windows.
• Same Level: When selected, the editor window always displays the same contents
as the window with key focus, and updates whenever the window with key focus
changes. For example, if the Score Editor has key focus, in Same Level Link mode,
the Event List displays the same data as the Score Editor (numerically, of course).
• Content: When selected, the editor window always shows the contents of the region
selected in the window with key focus. In this case, the display level is always one
level lower than that of the top window. For example, if the Tracks area is the active
window, any open MIDI editor shows the events of the selected MIDI region. You
can also use Content Link mode in one Tracks area to display the folder contents of
another Tracks area.
The Piano Roll Editor and Score Editor also include a Link button that you can use to set
the Link mode, and view the current Link mode.
• Piano Roll Editor: The Link button is yellow when set to Content. Same Level is not
available.
• Score Editor: The Link button is purple when the Link mode is set to Same Level, and
yellow when set to Content.
