166 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
• Special barlines: double barlines, final double barlines (“end of score”), half/short
barlines, hidden barlines (displayed as dotted lines on the screen) and manually
inserted regular barlines.
Note: None of these symbols affects Logic’s MIDI and audio playback. Time signatures
do, however, affect both the score display and the bar position display in all windows.
All functions reliant on the chosen time signature and bar positions (such as MIDI
metronome click or Transform window functions) are affected, if bar positions are used
to restrict a function to a certain part of the song.
Functions
Copying Time and Key Signatures
Time signatures, key changes, repeat signs, and special barlines can be copied in this
window, exactly as in the Event List:
• Select all list entries that you want to copy by clicking on them (Shift-click for
multiple selections) and use Edit > Copy (Command-C) to copy them to the
Clipboard.
• Insert copied entries by choosing Edit > Paste (Command-V).
• Copied list entries are inserted into the list, and an entry box for the bar position of
the first inserted list event will open. Type in the desired bar position and close the
box by pressing Return. Subsequent list entries are inserted at bar positions that
correspond to their original distance from the first copied list entry.
Moving and Deleting List Entries
All list entries in this window (except the initial time signature and key indication at the
top of the list) can be moved or deleted. Again, this works like the Event Edit window:
• To delete a list entry, select it and press Backspace.
• To move an entry, you can either; click on its bar position with the mouse, keep the
mouse button pressed and move the mouse up or down, or double-click on the bar
position of the list entry, and type the desired bar position into the box that appears.
Changing Time and Key Signatures in the List Editor
Existing time signatures and key changes can be altered directly in this list:
• Their position can be changed as described in the previous section.
• Time signatures can be changed by click-holding on the nominator or denominator
in the list, and dragging the mouse up or down to increase or decrease the value.
• To alter a key signature, either; click on the word major or minor to switch between
parallel major and minor keys, or click and hold on the root of the key: This opens a
pop-up menu of root notes for all available keys. Select the desired key by
highlighting the corresponding note in the pop-up menu.
