Chapter 16 Score Editor 481
Any single instrument can quickly be extracted from the score, by selecting it from the
pull-down menu which appears when you click on the Instrument Set Box, while
holding down Option. This way, you don’t need to create an Instrument Set for every
single instrument in order to produce parts. The automatic line breaks and the
individual stave margins can be changed for each Instrument Set individually. For
details please see the section Instrument Sets.
When you open a new Score window with several MIDI Regions selected in the
Arrange window, an Instrument Set will automatically be created and displayed in that
Score window, which only contains the instruments belonging to the selected MIDI
Regions.
Score Styles
Each Score Style (see “Basics” on page 529) contains a collection of score settings. Their
function could be compared to that of text formats in word processors and layout
programs. Instead of text settings however, Score Styles contain the staff size, display
transposition, stave distance, number of independent voices and so on So, instead of
having to define all of these settings each time a new MIDI Region is created or
recorded, any desired Score Style can be assigned to that MIDI Region. Any number of
Score Styles may be created and assigned to individual MIDI Regions. There are also a
lot of Score Styles already included in the template files that come with Logic, and in
Logic’s default song. For details please see the section Score Styles.
Text Styles
These are user-definable text formats for all types of displayed text.
Display Parameter Box
The parameters in the Display Parameter box (see “The Display Parameter Box” on
page 522) mainly affect the rhythmic display of the selected MIDI Regions. They can be
different for each MIDI Region. Some of these parameters can be overridden for
individual notes, using Note Attributes.
Song Settings
In the Song Settings (see “Song Settings for Score Display” on page 560) window you
can set general display options, which affect the whole song. These include spacing
between notes, page margins, line thickness, display of instrument names, bar, and
page numbers, and a lot more.
