640 Chapter 21 Song Settings and Preferences

Global Preferences

Global Preferences: Song Handling

Hide Windows of inactive Songs

Only the windows of active songs are displayed. All other windows belonging to songs

currently in memory are hidden. In this mode, you must use the main Windows menu

to switch between songs.

When opening a song, ask to close current song(s)?

Whenever you load a new song before closing the old one, a dialog box will appear,

and ask whether or not the current song should be closed. If this option is left

unchecked, you will not be asked the question, and the current song will remain open.

Empty Trash after saving a Song

After saving a song, Logic’s internal Trash is emptied (containing deleted Regions). If

the box is not checked, the saved song will still contain the Trash contents. The song’s

Trash can only be emptied by using the Empty Trash key command.

Export MIDI File…’ saves single MIDI Regions as Format 0

If only one MIDI Region is selected when you make use of the File > Export MIDI File…

function, the contents of the Region are saved in MIDI file format 0. This file format is

guaranteed to be compatible with every MIDI file player.

Automatically open most recent song on startup

Activation of this option will automatically launch the song that you were working on

when Logic was last closed.

Auto Backup:

This pull-down menu switches on, and controls the automatic backup (see “Saving

Songs” on page 68) function. The menu options are self-explanatory.

Global Preferences: Editing

Right Mouse Button:

This pull-down menu determines the right mouse behavior. Options are:

Is Assignable to a Tool, which allows any tool to be assigned to the right mouse button.

The Opens Toolbox option does just that, when the right mouse button is clicked.

Limit Dragging to One Direction In: Matrix and Score

In the Matrix or Score Editors, you can only move notes in one direction (horizontally or

vertically), per operation. This means that a note may be either transposed or moved in

time, but not both at once. This prevents accidental alteration of one or the other

parameter.

Limit Dragging to One Direction In: Arrange

This restricts the direction you can move Regions and folders in the Arrange window, in

a similar way to, and for the same reasons, as the option above.
