Help Tags

A help tag appears just below the mouse cursor position—for as long as the mouse

button is held down—when using many of the tools. The help tag provides useful

feedback about the type of operation you are performing.

Important: You must enable the Preferences > Display > Show Help Tags option in order

to view help tags during editing operations.

During operations involving Regions, the help tag will look something like this:

From left to right (and from top to bottom), the values indicate: (name of) operation,

mouse (or Region) position, Region name, track number, and length of the Region.

During operations involving events, the help tag looks something like this:

From left to right, the values indicate: (name of) operation, mouse (or event) position,

event type, event MIDI channel, first data byte (note pitch, for example), second data

byte (note velocity, for example), and event length (note length, for example).

Window Functions

The basic functions of the Logic windows are the same as those in other Macintosh

applications. The display options available in Logic’s windows are far more extensive,

however, than those of other programs.

In Logic, you can open different combinations of windows (even several of the same

type) and adjust each one individually. All open windows in a song are constantly

updated. This means that the windows update to follow the song position, and any

alterations made in one window immediately update the display of all other windows

you are working with. It is also easy to save different window arrangements (called

“Screensets”), and recall them with the push of a button.
