Can Logic explode a score into separate lines?

Question

I know that score programs like finale have a feature where you can 'explode' a polyphonic track into separate lines. Can Logic's score editor do anything like this. I found explode polyphony under view but it does not do anything like this or so it would seem.

Answer 1

Two things are necessary for explode polyphony to work:
• you have to have a polyphonic staff style selected (i.e., one that's set up to display multiple MIDI channels such as Piano 1+2/3)
• the notes within the region have to be assigned to the MIDI channels associated with each staff within the style
For example...
Let's say you recorded a 3-voice horn part, something nice and simple like a sequence of block chords. First thing to do would be to assign one of the preset polyphonic staff styles to that region (such as Piano 1+2/3) or, create your own style that accommodates 3 MIDI channels (top line = 1, middle line = 2, bottom =3). At this point, even if you enabled explode polyphony, you'd see all of the voices appear on one staff. The next step then would be to assign the notes to the appropriate MIDI channel for the staff you want them to appear on. Per my example of playing in block chords, you could use *Functions > Note Events > Voices to Channels* to automatically assign the voices. You could also use the voice separation tool, or manually change the MIDI channels of the various notes using key commands for Event Channel +1/-1.
