Chapter 16 Score Editor 543

• For the second Voice, the stem, tie, and tuplet direction parameters are set to down,

and the automatic rest display is deactivated (Hide). Only notes with channel 16 will

be assigned to this Voice.

To achieve such a score display, the following additional steps are necessary:

• Rests in the second Voice need to be inserted manually where needed. In the

example, this was done on the fourth beat of the second measure. The rest’s MIDI

channel has to be the same as the second Voice’s channel (in this case, 16). This can

be edited in the Event List (see “Using the Event List” on page 439).

• In the polyphonic passages, the stems of the Main Voice need to be forced upwards

by selecting the corresponding note’s and changing their individual stem parameters

(see “Note Attributes” on page 548).

An advantage of this approach is that you don’t need to worry that much about MIDI

channels during recording or input. Also, notes will not disappear unintentionally.

There is, however, the disadvantage that the Voice Separation tool cannot be used in

this case to assign notes to Voices.

Other applications for this method would include the display of beamed grace notes,

occasional polyphony in a guitar part, or the indication of rhythmic accents above or

below beat slashes in rhythm section parts.

Optionally, you can add still more Voices to a staff to be able to display more complex

parts (up to 16).

Multi-Stave Polyphonic Score Styles

(With more Voices than staves)

These Score Styles are used mainly for notating keyboard music. If you start Logic

without using an Autoload-Song or template song files, an empty song appears, which

contains some polyphonic Score Styles (see “Predefined Styles” on page 530) for piano

(Piano 1

2/3

4) and church organ (Organ 1

2/3

4/5, with three staves).

These Score Styles are simply a combination of the Score Style types covered in this

section so far. To insert an additional Voice or staff, place the Insert Mark (>) at the

desired position with the mouse (see opposite illustration), and select New > Insert

Voice or New > Insert Staff.

In these complex Score Styles, it is often best to use the Explode Polyphony (see “Input

and Recording of Polyphonic Voices” on page 542) mode when editing.
