480 Chapter 16 Score Editor
An Alias can be assigned a different Score Style than its original Region. As an example,
a melody played in unison by several instruments can be handled as a regular MIDI
Region and several Aliases of that MIDI Region. Different Score Styles can be used for
the different instruments, also transposing Score Styles. If you decide to change
something in the melody, you don’t need to edit all copies of it. Just make the change
in one MIDI Region, which will automatically be reflected in all Aliases of the original
MIDI Region.
Alias Editing
If Layout > Global Format > Allow Alias Editing is switched on, you can directly edit the
notes and symbols in the displayed alias. Please beware: you are thereby editing the
original MIDI Region and all aliases created from it, because only the original MIDI
Region can actually contain MIDI data.
If Allow Alias Editing is switched off and you try to edit an alia, you will get a dialog that
will offer you the following options:
Cancel: the aliases and the original MIDI Region remain untouched.
Enables Alias Editing: Alias Editing is enabled; when editing you are actually editing
the original MIDI Region.
Copy Region: A true copy of the original MIDI Region is created. You can now edit the
notes independently from the original MIDI Region, because the alias is turned into a
real MIDI Region.
Basic Elements for Score Display
The following elements and their parameters form the basic concept for the score
display in Logic.
Instrument Sets
Instrument Sets (see “Instrument Sets and Score Display Levels on page 552) allow you
to control which instruments will be displayed (and printed) in a score. You can include
as many (or few) of the existing track instruments into a score as you like. The order of
the instruments can be arranged independently of their order in the Arrange window.
You can assign names and abbreviated names to each track instrument independently
from the actual track instrument names in the Arrange window. These will then be
displayed in the score. You can also define which staves in the score will be connected
with brackets and bar lines, to form groups of instruments in the score.
