Changing the Same Font in Several Text Styles Simultaneously

If you change a Text Style’s font (pull-down menu) in the Text Style window while you

hold Option, this change affects all Text Styles which use the same font. This is a quick

method, for example, to change the Logic default Text Styles to the fonts you prefer.

This method is also especially useful if you load a Logic song which was created on

another computer, and uses text fonts that you don’t have in your system (if this is the

case, you will get a warning, message when you open the song). The names of

unavailable fonts will be displayed in parentheses in the Text Style window.

Font References

When you activate Options > Show Font References, any Text Styles which were created

by directly editing a text object’s attributes in the Event Parameter box, or from the Text

menu, are listed as Font References. Delete Unused Font References deletes any

References which are not in use anymore. Editing the Font References in the Text Style

window is not possible, except for changing the font. This display option mainly allows

you to replace missing fonts in such Font References.

Music Fonts as Fonts for Text Styles

Musical Symbol Fonts do not contain letters, but musical symbols only. Text objects

using these Text Styles can be used for free positioning of musical symbols anywhere in

the score. (Such as special percussion symbols).

Text Input

To insert text in the score, you need to get a Text object from the Part box, and drag it

to the desired position with the mouse. During this procedure, the mouse cursor

becomes the Text tool. You can also grab the Text tool from the Toolbox, and use it

directly for text input. Each Text object (except text in the Header, directly at the page

margins, or outside the margins) is saved as a Meta Event within a particular MIDI

Region, at a certain bar position. This position can be seen in the help tag, as you insert

the text object. Text events are also visible in the Event Editor, where you can change

their position, but not the text itself.
