Edit line breaks
You can set line breaks individually for each score set, and also for each extracted part. Line
breaks are saved with the project.
By default, Logic Pro creates automatic line breaks based on the Spacing and Maximum Bars/Line
settings in the Global Score project settings. You can override automatic line breaks using the
Layout tool in Page view, and can also create line breaks by adding a Line Break symbol from the
Part box in any view.
For example, if the Global Score project setting for Maximum Bars/Line is 6, you can move
additional bars into a line using the Layout tool. Any unedited lines will still contain no more
than six bars. The full number of bars is only displayed if the spacing settings are low enough to
allow the proper display of that many bars.
For information about the Global project settings, see Global Score settings. For information
about adding line break symbols, see Add page and line break symbols.
Note: If you drag more bars into a line than would be displayed using the automatic line break
function, overlapping notes and symbols may result.
Move a bar up or down to the previous or next sta
m 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 sta system, and the remaining bars in the line are distributed
evenly over the entire width of the page.
You can also move the rst bars of a sta upward into the preceding sta, by dragging them up
with the Layout tool.
