516 Chapter 16 Score Editor

Move, Copy, and Paste

Moving or copying of complete Regions, or major parts of a MIDI Region should

generally be done in the Arrange window.

Still, most of the following described functions in the Score window work similarly to

Logic’s other editor windows. However, it is not possible to copy, or move the following

symbols:

• Global symbols, like repeat signs, time, and key signature changes—except in the

Arrange window here (see “Key Signatures” on page 508)—and global text elements

(headers and so on)

• Symbols directly attached to notes, like accents, fermatas, note heads, and so on

Moving/Copying with the Mouse

You can move/copy by dragging the selected objects (with Option for copying). This

allows you to move or copy any number of notes and symbols to other bar positions

and/or pitches. If you want to restrict the movement to just one direction (vertical or

horizontal), hold down Shift during this process. There is also a general preference for

this: Preferences > Global Preferences… > Limit Dragging to one direction in Matrix and

Score.

It is important to watch the help tag during this process. It shows the status (Drag or

Copy), the current difference from the original position (Transpose and Time Shift), and

the current cursor position (bar position and—for notes—pitch).

Positioning Grid

Movement along the time axis occurs along a quantization grid, corresponding to the

particular MIDI Region’s assigned display quantization (Qua) in the Display Parameter

box. If a hybrid quantize value is selected (i.e. 16,24), the grid corresponds to the binary

value (16 in this example). If note positions are not aligned with this time grid (for

example, because they were recorded in real time), their relative offset is still kept

when moving or copying them. This allows you to move or copy unquantized passages

within the Score Editor, without losing the original feel of the performance.

Please note: copying and moving notes with the mouse is only possible within the

same MIDI Region.

Moving and Copying Several Objects at Once

To move or copy (with Option) several objects at once (notes and symbols), just select

all desired objects and drag one of them (preferably the first one, or one positioned at

exactly the beginning of a measure) to its destination position. Again, watch the help

tag for exact positioning. The other selected objects will be moved or copied in exact

relation to the first one.
