Control windows using screensets
Create and recall screensets in Logic Pro
You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various
windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called
a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets,
much as you might between different computer displays.
Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key is
assigned to the Stop command by default).
You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically, as
soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current working
view is always stored as the current screenset.
You can also switch a screenset automatically during playback using meta events.
Create a screenset
1. In Logic Pro, press any numerical key except 0; for example, 7.
For two-digit screensets, press and hold Control while entering the first digit.
2. Arrange your windows, including changes to zoom settings, the relationship of the
Tracks area and editor, open or closed inspector and Browsers or List Editors areas, and
so on.
Note: When you choose a screenset number that has not been saved, a maximized main
window opens.
Recall or switch between screensets
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Type the number of the screenset (1 to 9).
For two-digit screensets, press and hold Shift while entering the first digit.
Choose the screenset from the Screenset menu.
Use the Next Screenset or Previous Screenset key commands.
Note: Screensets 1 to 9 can be recalled by freely defined key commands, not only the
number keys on your computer keyboard. This allows you to use the number keys for other
purposes, such as opening or closing windows. The 1 to 9 key commands are called Recall
Screenset 1–9 in the Key Commands window.
Switch a screenset during playback
1. In Logic Pro, select the MIDI region into which you want to insert the meta event.
2. Set the playhead to the point where you want the screenset to change.
3. Click the Create button in the Event List, then click the Meta Events button.
The inserted meta event has a default value of 50 (Project Select).
