40 Chapter 1 Using Logic

If the overlapping notes appear to be part of a chord, you will be presented with the

following options:

• Keep: simultaneously-sounding notes will be shortened to the same endpoint.

• Delete: simultaneously-sounding notes will be removed, leaving a monophonic line

behind.

• Shorten: simultaneously-sounding notes will be shortened separately so that again,

only a monophonic line remains.

Legato

Functions > Note Events > Note Force Legato, lengthens all selected notes, so that each

note sustains until the startpoint of the next one, in a legato manner.

There are two possible ways of doing this:

• Note Force Legato (selected/any): this function forces legato for all selected notes,

regardless of whether the following note is selected or not.

• Note Force Legato (selected/selected): this function forces legato for all selected

notes, but only if the following note is selected.

The end of the MIDI Region is treated as a non-selected note. Note Force Legato

(selected/any) lengthens the last note up to the end of the MIDI Region. Note Force

(selected/selected) does not alter the length of the last note.

If Logic finds a chord, a dialog box will appear saying:

Some overlapped notes appear like chords! Delete chord notes? Or shorten overlapped

notes?

Delete erases any incorrect notes in a poorly played monophonic line. Keep evens the

start points and durations of all notes in chords, which were played intentionally.

Splitting Chords

The Functions > Note Events > Select Top Line command selects the highest notes in the

selected chords of a MIDI Region. All previous selections are ignored.

The Functions > Note Events > Select Bottom Line command selects the lowest notes in

the selected chords of a MIDI Region. All previous selections are ignored.

Select Top Line and Select Bottom Line are purely selection commands, which can be

used in conjunction with any of the editing commands, such as Cut, to move a voice

into another MIDI Region.

Splitting voices across MIDI channels

The Functions > Note Events > Lines to Channels command assigns MIDI channel

numbers (in ascending order) to individual note pitches in the selected MIDI Region.

The highest note in each chord will be assigned as MIDI channel 1, the next note down

in each chord channel 2, and so on. Only selected events are affected, so you should

use the Select All command first, or a related command, such as Select within Locators.
