Assigning Staff Styles

I'm still having problems trying to assign separate staff styles to individual regions from the same track. The book says:
+To assign a staff style (predefined or user-created) to a MIDI region:+
+1 Select the MIDI region.+
+2 Choose the desired staff style from the Style parameter pop-up menu in the Display+
+Parameter box.+
However, when I do this, beginning with the first region in the track (there are 3), all three regions take on the most recent staff assignment. I've made two duplicate styles of "lead sheet," and I select my first region, then select the staff style I want for it (lead sheet), then select the second region and select the staff style I want for it (lead sheet2) and when I do, the first region no longer maintains the "lead sheet" designation, rather it also becomes "lead sheet2." it is possible to assign different staff styles to separate regions in the same track correct?

Got it. THANK YOU. I was hung up thinking that the staff styles would be the same in both the arrange and score track parameter windows, but they are not linked. So...you can only choose one staff style for an entire track in the arrange, but if you highlight regions, you can break up the staff styles in score huh? The arrange then just gets the basic staff range of the part you are recording, and the score does all the non-destructive editing for what's printed. Also, now that the styles are set, I was able to create the space (you helped me out with this on a previous post) between the staffs in score, not only through space above and below the staff, but by grabbing and dragging the staff region in score.
Oh happy day...what next

  • Problems Assigning Staff Styles to MIDI Regions

    Hi all,
    Newbie Logic Express User here - I've been stuck on something for the past two hours that probably has a really easy solution, but I can't find it anywhere.
    All I'm trying to do is assign the #Drums staff style to a MIDI region in one of my tracks that will eventually contain - yep - drum notes.
    But I can't get any of the controls for "style" to change to that. If I try to do it from the Score window or its accompanying parts-and-other-stuff window on the left, it just goes back to "Piano" no matter what I select. If I try to change it in the parameters box when I select the MIDI region in the Arrange window, it stays stuck on "Auto" no matter what I select.
    Any idea what basic thing I'm missing here? It's driving me crazy! Maybe there's a setting somewhere that "unlocks" staff styles?
    Many thanks for even reading this.
    Shawn

    Please, please, not everybody at once.
    Anyway, the more I work with and read about Logic, the clearer it is that maybe I'm stuck in a Cakewalk way of thinking. Logic Express seems to be pretty good at figuring out what kind of staff style you want after you just record a few notes. So I figure I'll just do that from here on out.
    Still curious why I can't change the staff style myself, though. Oh well...

  • How do I change the midi staff style from piano (i.e. bass and treble clef) to a drum score?

    Is there a way to change the staff style in Logic Pro 9 from piano to drums?
    In the score window I have tried selecting layout then staff styles... then clicking the downward arrow next to piano and changing to drums (but there is no box to select apply changes), I then back out and it still displays and uses a piano score.
    Also is there some sort of setting I can apply so that Logic acts with some Logic... i.e. if I'm using a drum audio instrument then the score editor automatically changes to a drum score, similarily with bass and bass clef?

    If I understand you write, you are looking for remapping of the incoming MIDI messages.
    So your MIDI Drum Kit is connected to your Mac and sends MIDI messages
    A few question:
    What MIDI Note message is your drum kit sending when you hit the kick drum, or lets ask, what note "should" it send? Record a MIDI Region while playing your kick drum. Open the Piano Roll Editor and look up what MIDI note that is.
    Can you change the assignment on your Drum Kit, i.e. set what MIDI note is send by each drum kit peice?
    What MIDI Instrument are you using for the drums in GarageBand?
    Do you know what MIDI note is assigned to the Snare sound (D1 ?)
    A the end it is about matching the sending note (send from the kick drum) to the expected receiving note (assigned to the snare sound). Changin Cable wouldn't do anything. Either you have to change the receiving mapping (hard to do in GB), or change the sending not from the Kick Drum (should be possible).
    Hope that helps

  • Logic X Staff Styles for drum kit:  can't position?

    I'm new to Logic but l I believe I'm doing this right and have hit a bug.  By default, the snare drum is mapped to what would be a "b" in treble clef.  I'd like this to be mapped to a "c".  To change this, I open Staff Styles and edit the mapped style for drums.  The snare group is at position "-4" by default, which I believe means it is four steps down from the the top staff line.  I want to change this to -3 to move it up to a "c".  I can change the value by clicking and dragging the -4, but when I do this, instead of the note moving up, it snaps to the top (position 0) and stays there.  If I close this window and re-open it, sure enough, logic has assigned a zero to the position.  No change seems to affect it, and if I save a project like this the snare group is forever at position zero, basically ruining the project.
    Has anyone experienced this?  Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug? If it's a bug, does anyone know a work-around?
    Thanks for any insight,
    Brian.

    Confirmed bug in LPX 10.0.7 ( works as expected in 10.0.6)
    There is a *very* clunky workaround:
    Create a new Mapped Instrument object in the MIDI Environment and cable it up to the required software Instrument channel object.
    Drag the Mapped interment object from the Environment and drop it on the required track in the Track area track list ( to route the track via the new mapped instrument object)
    Edit the snare entries in the mapped instrument object: up 0.5 transposition)
    This change is not immediately updated in the Score; you have to change the staff style to any other one then re-apply the #drums style.

  • Using band instrument staff styles, but still stays in concert pitch.

    I have written a band arrangement in Logic Pro 9 that includes trumpet, saxes, clarinet, and other instruments not in concert pitch. Thanks to previous community postings, I assigned what I believe are the proper staff styles. For example, at the bottom of the display parameter(?) box for a baritone sax part, it says "Bariton Sax" next to "Style." (This is located right under No Transpose and No Reset boxes).
    However, when I look at the score, it's still in concert pitch. Is this a glitch with the program, or is there something else I need to do? (BTW I have the latest 9.1.8 update). I'm working on deadline for a holiday program and would REALLY appreciate some help.
    Thanks!

    For reference, this parameter box will assign the desired Staff Style to any regions recorded subsequently. It will not change any pre-existing regions, as you have found.
    The trick would be to set up all the tracks with the desired styles assigned, then save it as a template.

  • Trouble with Slurs when Changing the Staff Style

    Hello,
    I'm exploring the LP8 score editor and find that it is VERY impressive!
    My goal is to use Logic for everything, instead of having to dole out the score duties to Sibelius or Finale. After reading the manual, I've found that LP8 is designed for just that! With the display quantization settings and the other "tips" that it offered, the manual showed me that LP8's score editor is formidable indeed!
    One issue (and maybe I missed this in the manual) that I'm having is changing the staff style for my parts. The manual says that this is an ideal way to print parts because you can change the key, transposition, etc. Writing for full orchestra, this seems (forgive the unintended pun) "Logical."
    This issue I'm having is that my slurs do not move with my notes when I change the staff style. For example: let's say I have a theme in a MIDI region that is using the "treble" staff style. I have dynamics and slurs everywhere. Then I want to give this to an Alto Sax so I select the MIDI region and change the staff style to "Alto Sax." While the key signature and the notes change in a very "correct" looking way. The slurs I put in remain in their original locations. This is a bit discouraging because it means a lot of work to fix them before I can print the part out.
    I've tried "selecting equal" events in the edit drop down menu. This almost works, but it does not discriminate between slurs up and slurs down.
    If someone could please let me know what they do with slurs in general, and especially what they do when creating parts with them that would be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm a HUGE advocate of Logic's score editor, but depending on the type of music you're writing you'll find that there are certain things that it just can't do. To this effect, there may be times when it will just be easier to send your music to a Finale/Sibelius copyist to put the finishing touches on your score/parts, i.e., those things that you must have in your score but which Logic can't do, such as wavy-line glissando markings for harp parts, tram marks (for separating systems on a conductor's score), alternative pedal markings for piano, etc. (up/down marks), and others.
    Should you ever get to that point, check out a program called PDFtoMusicPro. It will take a PDF file from Logic and translate it into an XML file that can be read by Finale, etc., including slurs, key signatures, dynamic markings, etc. It's pretty fantastic!
    This issue I'm having is that my slurs do not move with my notes when I change the staff style... \[snip]
    Yup, it's a problem. The best approach is to use the transposing staff styles and do your markup on them. Of course, if you're preparing a C score then none of that matters.

  • Finale Staff Styles Keyboard Shortcut

    In Finale, each of the default staff styles has a keyboard command, which is shown in parentheses in the menu. I created a new staff style (alto flute transposition) and I would like to set a keyboard command for it. Can this be done, and if so, how?

    You will probably get the best advice from the Finale forums:

  • Piano 1 2/3 staff style displays as 3 staves

    Hello. I hope someone can offer some advice on this. I have a piano part which is mostly displayed ok with staff style Piano 1/3, so channel 1 is on the treble staff and channel 3 is on the bass staff. There are a couple of bars where I want to show a 2nd voice on the top staff. I've used the scissors tool to make those bars a seperate midi region so that they can have a different staff style, but whenever I apply the built in Piano 1+2/3 staff style to just that region it forces it to display as three staves, one per voice, as shown here. I've included the staff style editor window too, because from what I can tell from the documentation it's setup correctly but perhaps somone out there can tell me what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

  • Staff Styles or Score styles?

    I apologise for having to post this but the manual hasn't gotten me where I need to go yet. If I create a new project with 7 staves and the delete 4 of them I am left with 3 staves. They are coupled together so clicking on one selects all 3. I have tried create Duplicate but the coupling remains in place. Any ideas on this? I will of course RTFM again but it is not Logics' easiest editor.

    You might want to read throught that realated thread
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=71888&highlight=
    Make you are clear on the difference between Score Sets (Instrument related) and Staff Styles (Region related). And yes the Logic Manual is not really helpful to point that, rather confusing.

  • Staff Styles

    Working on some piano music. Everything was OK and then one section for some unknown reason came up as a single staff in Bass cleff, so the high notes have as many as 15 leger lines. I went to staff styles and clicked on "Piano", but nothing changes.

    guys .. if you want some clarity you need to describe more accurately exactly what your steps are because the questions ( to us "Score Editor Experts Willing to Help" do not yet make sense.
    1 - I clicked on a region and open Score Editor
    2 - Make sure the Region is selected and then try experimenting with a few different staff styles to see if the Region changes
    3 - Open the Layout>Staff Styles and see what values are placed in the different boxes
    Also specify in your signature what gear you are using and what version of Logic

  • Multiple Split Points in Staff Styles

    I have just recorded a piano solo with my m-audio keystation in Logic. However some of the notes I need in the bass clef are stuck in the treble clef (and vice versa). I know you can set a split point in staff styles, but I need to make the split point change throughout the piece.
    What's the best way to go about doing this?

    Hmm you really should read the manual about all this.
    Ok:
    Select the region you've cut - open the Score editor in the bottom window of your Arrange - in the Inspector at the upper left of your Arrange you can choose the staff styles for each region - click on the little downwards arrow of e.g. Instrument 1->style->choose a staff style - then change to page view and you will see your score without breaks/new clefs. I ususally setup a screenset with the Score editor in page view and another Screenset with the Arrange page and the Score editor opened at the bottom.
    You can also open your staff style editor with a Keycommand - the same counts for the Instrument set editor. Once you've understood this principle you'll find faster ways of editing your score - open the Score editor at the bottom and just click into the different bars - the corresponding regions in the Arrange will get selected and you can quickly change staff styles.
    Here is a screenset showing you where to choose the different staff styles:

  • Assign Tabitem Style from xaml in Code behind

    Please suggest me the solution for this.
    Thanks All

    I believe if you remove x:key attribute from the tab style
    <Style TargetType="TabItem"> ... </Style>
    then it will be applied to all tabs.
    If this not works then take out your style definition from <TabControl.Resources> and put it the resource of parent control which contains TabControl
    e.g
    <UserControl ...>
    <UserControl.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="TabItem"> ... </Style> // don't add x:key attribute
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <TabControl> .. </TabControl>
    </UserControl>

  • Assigning Different Style Classes to Portlet Columns

    Is it possible to use the CSS mill to create a style sheet that assigns certain properties to particular columns in the portal body? For example if I wanted the third column in my page layout to tell portlets to turn their borders off and have a gray background while keeping the borders and white background for the other columns.
    I was also told that narrow portlets and wide portlets reference different style classes but I don't see them from viewing the source from my browser. I see platportletNarrowHeader and platportletWideHeader which is for the Portlet Title Bars but not the body. If I wanted all narrow columns to reference a different style class than wide, how could I go about that?

    Allow me to clarify how this works.
    It isn't so much of a difference between narrow portlets and wide portlets, it is a difference between portlets in the narrow columns and portlets in the wide column. (Narrow portlets can be placed in the wide column.)
    Portlets in the wide column reference the styles platportletHeaderBg, platportletWideHeader, and platportletBorder.
    Portlets in the narrow column reference the styles platportletHeaderBg, platportletNarrowHeader, platportletBorder, and platportletLightBg.
    As you can see there are some styles that the two have in common. platportletHeaderBg controls the table row that contains a portlet header. platportletBorder controls the table that contains the portlet content.
    For portlets in the narrow column platportletNarrowHeader controls the text inside the portlet header (the portlet's name). platportletLightBg controls the table row that contains the portlet content.
    For portlets in the wide column platportletWideHeader controls the text inside the portlet header (the portlet's name). There is no style that controls the table row that contains the portlet content for portlets in the wide column. Instead it uses the color of the body of the page.
    So changing the common styles will affect all columns, while changing the narrow column or wide column specific styles will affect those columns. So you can't just change the style for a third column.
    If you want to go beyond those limitations it would involve making a code change in MyPortalContentView.

  • Can't set staff style preferences

    I'm trying to score a choral arrangement, so I need two treble channels, two bass and one for the piano. The style settings in the inspector windows both in the arrange window and the score window will not reset.
    The style in the arrange window says "Auto" and shows "Treble" no matter what I choose in the menu. The score window style preference names "piano" no matter what instrument I've chosen, and, likewise, any other setting will not "take" when I try to change it. (I started by using a piano from the software instrument menu for the track channel but then tried a guitar to see if I could get a lead sheet setting, but no.)
    I tried opening a new project and copying and pasting my regions into it, but it did the same thing.
    According to everything I've read, this should be a very easy thing to do, but it's not working for me.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate it if you can help. Thanks!
    Janet

    OK, let me try again. Pardon my terminology in the last post. I haven't had much sleep and I'm very frustrated with this.
    I'm trying to arrange a choral piece, so I need single staves for soprano, alto, tenor, bass. Some of the notes on these staves will go below the normal range, but I still need them to only be one staff, not a double. In the arrange window, in the track parameter box, "auto" displays "piano," which is the MIDI instrument I chose to compose with, and the pop-up menu (if that is what it is called here) now displays "soprano" in the clef field. When I open the score window, the style parameter shows "piano" and the parameter shows two staves in the clef field, "treble" and "soprano." I realize that by now I have tried to change the the thing so many times that everything is probably hopelessly confused. I want the score to display one treble staff, with the soprano notes that happen to go lower (like A3) on added lines at the bottom, not as a whole separate clef.
    Somehow I accomplished this with one of my songs, writing a lead sheet, but I'm darned if I can figure out how. I'm using Logic 8. I have tried moving the regions into a new project but it doesn't help.
    Do I need to reinstall? Have I screwed things up interminably? Will somebody please help?
