The Project Logical Editor
Selecting a preset
To understand the Project Logical Editor, it might be a good
idea to start by exploring the included presets. These are
found on the Presets pop-up menu at the bottom of the
window, to the right.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up menu.
The window will show the settings stored in the preset. As the preset is
not applied to the elements yet, you can load different presets just to
study them without affecting any elements. You can also edit the preset
before applying it.
• To apply the loaded preset (i.e. to perform the opera-
tions defined in the Project Logical Editor), click Do It.
Ö You can also open the Edit menu and select Presets di-
rectly from the “Process Project Logical Editor” submenu.
This allows you to apply a preset directly, without having to open the
Project Logical Editor.
For information on how to create and handle your own
presets, see “Working with presets” on page 389.
Setting up filter conditions
General procedure
The upper list is where you set up the filter conditions, de-
termining which elements to find. The list contains one or
several conditions, each on a separate line.
Ö If you want to start from scratch (as opposed to basing
your settings on an existing preset), you may want to ini-
tialize the settings by selecting the Init option from the
Presets pop-up menu.
• To add a new line (condition), click the Add Line button
to the right.
The new line is added at the bottom of the list. If there are many lines, you
may need to use the scrollbar to the right to view them.
• To remove a line, select it and click the Delete Line but-
ton to the right.
You set up a filter condition line by clicking in the columns
and selecting options from the pop-up menus that appear.
Here is a brief description of the columns:
Below, the different Filter Targets (and their corresponding
Condition and Parameter options) are described in more
detail.
Column Description
Left bracket This is used for “bracketing” several lines together when
creating conditions with multiple lines and the boolean
operators And/Or. See “Combining multiple condition li-
nes” on page 386.
Filter Target Here you select which property to look for when finding
elements. Your choice here affects the available options
in the other columns as well, see below!
Condition This determines how the Project Logical Editor should
compare the property in the Filter Target column to the
values in the Parameter columns (see the separate table
below). The available options depend on the Filter Target
setting.
Parameter 1 Here you set which value the element properties should
be compared to (depending on the Filter Target).
For example, if the Filter Target is “Position” and Condi-
tion is “Equal”, the Project Logical Editor will look for all
elements starting at the position you specify in the Pa-
rameter 1 column.
Parameter 2 This column is only used if you have selected one of the
“Range” options in the Condition column. Typically, this
allows you to find all elements with values inside (or out-
side) the range between Parameter 1 and Parameter 2.
Bar Range This column is only used if the Filter Target is “Position”
and one of the “Bar Range” options is selected in the
Condition column. In these cases, you use the Bar Range
column to specify “zones” within each bar (allowing you
to find e.g. all elements on or around the first beat of ev-
ery bar). See “Searching for elements at certain positi-
ons” on page 384.
Right bracket This is used for “bracketing” several lines together. See
“Combining multiple condition lines” on page 386.
bool This allows you to insert the boolean operators And/Or,
when creating conditions with multiple lines. See “Com-
bining multiple condition lines” on page 386.
