Chapter 16 Score Editor 545

Stem Direction

The default stem direction for notes that beamed across staves is towards the center.

I.e. the beam is displayed between the two staves, stems in the lower staff point up,

stems in the upper staff point down.

The vertical position and the inclination of that beam can be altered by applying the

stem length change functions described above: To move the whole beam in parallel

motion, select all beamed notes at once and choose Attributes > Stems > Up or …Down,

to change the inclination of the beam, select the first or last note of that group and

apply those functions.

However, you can also define the same stem direction for all notes with the regular

note attribute functions, thereby placing the beam above the top staff or below the

bottom staff. If you decide that you like the in-between beam better, you’ll need to

select all notes again and choose attributes > Stems > Default.

Rest Display

As always, rests are displayed automatically in Logic, according to the Rest settings in

the used Score Style. However, since in the cross-staff beaming situation described

above, most or even all notes belong to the Voice of the top staff, the lower staff will

contain rests—even directly at the position of some of the notes. To avoid this, you

should use a Score Style where the automatic rest display is deactivated for the Voice of

the bottom staff. Wherever rest display is desired, those rests can be inserted with the

mouse from the Part box.

Copying Voices or Staves

Copying Voices or Staves into other Score Styles

With the Copy and Paste-commands (Edit menu or key commands), you can transfer

one or several voices and/or staves including their parameters, into other Score Styles.

Select the Voices you want to copy, by dragging the mouse vertically in the margin

column to the left of the stave numbers. The selection will be indicated by a dark grey

vertical beam. Now, select Edit > Copy (X). Switch to the Score Style into which you

want to paste these voices (this also works between different songs). Finally, set the

Insert mark (>) and select Edit > Paste (X). Note that if a Voice is selected in the

destination Score Style (indicated by a black beam in the left column), it will be

replaced by the pasted voices.

Deleting Voices in a Score Style

To delete Voices or staves from a Score Style, select them (dark grey beam, see above)

and press Backspace, or select Edit > Clear.
