562 Chapter 16 Score Editor

Header Space

Defines the height reserved for headers, between the first page’s top margin, and the

first staff’s top margin (as defined in its assigned Score Style).

Note: Text elements inserted directly into this area automatically become Global Text

(see “Global Text” on page 579), and will be displayed as headers in all Instrument Sets

(scores and parts).

This value can also be changed directly in the score, by dragging the dotted line above

the first staff with the mouse.

Line Distance

Defines additional vertical distance between stave systems on the same page. It applies

to full scores, as well as single staff parts.

Max. Bars/Line

This parameter can be useful, when using small spacing values (see below) to prevent

too many bars from being displayed in one line. The number set here limits the

number of bars that can be displayed per line.

Note: This setting can be overridden when using the Layout tool for changing the line

breaks (see “Line Breaks” on page 558).

Constant/Proportional Spacing: Note distance

These parameters determine how much horizontal distance Logic leaves between

notes. Constant Spacing affects the distance from note to note, regardless of rhythmic

value. Proportional Spacing also takes the note durations into consideration. If you only

use Proportional Spacing (and set Constant to 0), every bar more or less gets the same

amount of (horizontal) space. A whole note uses as much space as four quarter notes.

In the opposite situation (high constant value, proportional value = 0), the distance

from one note to the next is always the same regardless of note duration. A half note

takes the same amount of space as an eighth note. Other factors, like accidentals, ties,

and so on are also considered for calculating the note distances.

Which settings you use, depends both on personal preference, and the style of the

piece. Certainly, one should aim for a good balance between these two parameters. For

best results, try different combinations when you work on the final layout of your score.

Slash Spacing: Spacing of Beat Slashes

This is the distance parameter for slashes used in Score Styles that display Beat Slashes

instead of automatic rests. This is especially important if notes are inserted into staves

displayed with slashes. As an example, for musical styles such as funk, which use a lot

of sixteenth notes, you will likely choose a higher slash distance than for music that

doesn’t go beyond eighth notes. This way, the proper relation between notes and

passages with only slashes and chord symbols can be kept.
