Chapter 16 Score Editor 557
New Instrument Sets for Selected Instruments
In the Score window, Layout > Create Instrument Set from Selection (also key command)
will immediately create and display a new Instrument Set, which consists of all
instruments which are used by the currently selected MIDI Regions. For this function, it
does not matter if the MIDI Regions are selected in the Score or in the Arrange window.
As screen redraws are much faster if fewer instruments are displayed, this is a good way
to speed up editing. Instrument Sets created this way are automatically named after
the instruments they contain. If you want to delete the set after editing, select New >
Delete Set in the Instrument Set window while the particular Instrument Set is shown
there.
Automatic Display of Selected Instruments when Opening the Score Window
When you open a new Score window while several Regions are selected in the Arrange
window, an Instrument Set will automatically be created and displayed in that Score
window which only contains the instruments belonging to the selected Regions. In
other words, the function Create Instrument Set From Selection is automatically
performed whenever a Score window is opened and Regions on more than one track
are selected in the Arrange window.
Instrument Sets created this way are saved with the song file, and are also available for
later use.
Different Instruments Using the Same Sound
If several instruments or staves use the same MIDI sound for playback (with the same
MIDI channel on the same MIDI instrument), and if you wish to be able to display those
staves with different instrument names in the score, you need to create a separate track
instrument for each staff in the Arrange or Environment window.
Full Score and Part Layout
Some functions in the Instrument Set window and some settings in the Global Format
window (Layout menu) make it possible to produce both the full score and the
individual parts for all instruments from within the same Logic song file, without
having to adjust any settings.
Part Extraction (“Instrument Filter”)
Hold Option as you click and hold on the Instrument Set Box in the Score window. A
pull-down menu will appear, which contains all Track Instruments currently used in the
Arrange window. If you choose one of them, only this particular instrument will be
displayed. This method allows you to quickly display (and print) instrument parts.
However, in this special case, only the track instrument names will be used as
instrument names in the score. So, if you use this method for printout of your parts,
you need to be careful to use the “real” instrument names as names for the Track
Instruments in the Arrange window.
