Change pitch in score editor?

Hello folks,
How to change a snare (bass drum,etc ) pitch in score editor? I mean, while I am writting a sheet in Score Editor, always my snare (from example)
is C#1 and I want to change it to E1 (for instance). I did it into piano rool, but I want to do directly in score editor.
thx

Hi
Do you mean the display as drum notation?

  • Score Editor doesn't display region after cut

    Hello, after cutting a small section between locators in the Piano Roll I changed to the Score Editor view.
    It will not show the bars after the cut, although the piece plays merrily on ! I moved the playhead to a part after the cut, but still no luck.
    How can I change this ?
    Kay.

    Maybe.... select the two regions at same time... or... Double click on the score window ... but in any case the score is related to the region size.

  • Is it possible to change the length of a note in the score editor?

    I thought I saw somewhere that it was now possible to adjust the length of a note in the score editor graphically, i.e. by clicking on the note and somehow adjust its length directly to change it from 1/4 note to 1/8 (for example).
    I don't want to do this by going over to the "Length" dialog on the left because I hate having to switch from thinking in terms of music notation and then having to think (temporarily) in MIDI ticks per beat, etc.
    I must admit that I'm finding it extremely frustrating to simply enter music into Logic in a score....I thought this was supposed to be one of its strengths but it seems to be providing amazing capabilities at the expense of ease of use for beginners.

    greetings dh... are you into Key Commands? There are two which will help you do the above in a trice:
    • Nudge Region/Event Length Right by SMPTE Frame
    • Nudge Region/Event Length Left by SMPTE Frame
    I set mine to the simple letter o and n
    - I click on a note and press o repeatedly.. it grows and grows longer and longer
    – I click on a note and press n repeatedly.. it shrinks and shrinks shorter and shorter
    All by little increments
    If you keep a Piano Roll window open while you do this, you can see the length do this exactly
    man, it is VERY quick and handy for changing the length of notes
    It really helps to have a view of the midi Piano Roll to cross check the exact length and position of the notes.
    Check out the Key Commands:
    • Set Next Higher division
    • Set Next lower division
    These change the note value in the transport bar near the time signature. Your time signature may be 4/4 but the "grid" on which the notes are appear in the Piano Roll could be displayed in quarter, 8th or 16th notes. If you experiment with these commands, then you can match the note lengths easily to the grid display visually (with the above nudge length commands)
    Also - you may like to experiment with the following 3 KEY Key Commands:
    1 • Nudge Region/Event Position Right by Nudge Value
    2 • Nudge Region/Event Position Left by Nudge Value
    This will move your selected notes forward in time or back in time according to the
    value that is set in the Transport bar - say it is 16ths .. then each press of the key will move the notes a 16th
    or if the value is 8th notes, then each press of the key forward or backwards will move the selected notes forward or back by this amount
    ... amazingly useful when you are taking a whole phrase and pasting it somewhere else, or if say you started to write a phrase in the Score Editor and you started on the wrong beat.. then you just Nudge back and forth
    3 • Set Nudge Value to Division
    .. this will in a trice change change the Nudge Value to whatever Note division value is set in the Transport bar
    HTH and forgive me if I have given you too much information
    ..problem is I spent too much time in the Transport Bar in Los Angeles last year drinking with the iSchwartz and other Logic reprobrates... you should join us some time

  • Score Editor Clef Changes?

    Hello,
    When working in the score editor, I'd like to change the clef of one of my instruments.  However, when I try to do so, the clefs on other instruments change as well.  How do I de-couple instruments so that I can proceed with changing the clef of just one instrument at a time?
    Many Thanks

  • Ties, Durations, And Volumes In Score Editor

    I am trying to tie two notes of different pitch, using the method of extending the duration of a first note to lap over the second. While this produces a tie and an extended or (sort of) legato sound if the notes are the same pitch, and produces a proper graphic tie in the score editor, it does not do this when I attempt to tie two notes of different pitches. In that case, a tie is produced by the Score Editor, but the extended duration first note is duplicated in the second note position, along with the original second note—so three notes tied! Clearly this is not what I want. It occurred to me that this method of extending the first note's duration was doing exactly the same thing when the notes are the same, but I don't see it show up in the editor.
    Here are two images of what I am seeing in the Score Editor
    Bottom pair of notes—first extended and tie created.
    Top pair, first note duration not extended. No tie.
    Here, I've extended the first note in the top pair, to get
    the tie, but as you see it duplicated the note in the
    second position too, and of course changed the sound
    from what it should be.
    So, questions:
    1. Am I doing the right thing, achieving ties by extending the durations of notes in this manner? It seems to work just fine when the notes are the same, but I am wondering if, instead of generating an extended single note, I am getting a doubled note (or louder note). It seems this is the case. Is there a better way to make ties (both in sound and in the editor) without doubling notes?
    2. How do you do ties between different pitched notes—again without generating a third note? Is this handled differently than tying to notes of the same pitch?
    Thanks.

    Just to add:
    Most instruments can only manage a slur between notes of different pitches... on a brass instrument it's using a different valve fingering with out tonguing the note but there's still a slight bump with the new fingering. The exception of course is the trombone, because of a slide that can actually glissando between notes. Valve instruments can bend and half-valve notes but that a special technique. A piano or organ can't do what you describe... orchestral string instruments (as well as fretless electric bass) can but that's a function of the instrument and is usually written as a slur with bowing instructions.
    It's never written as different pitches tied.

  • Problems creating bass tab in score editor...

    Trying to write some bass tab directly into the score editor for printing out later. First thing I created was a bassline that's only on the low E. When I did the 5th fret A Logic kept putting the note to the open third string A. I fixed that in the tab layout section by setting the A1 pitch to A2 and the note now goes to the 5th fret A like I want.
    But in the next measure I want a B5 bassline on the 7th fret/4th string and 9th fret/3rd string, B and F#. I can get the B no problem, but Logic is forcing the F# to the 14th fret/4th string note instead of the 9th fret/3rd string I want. I've tinkered with changing pitches in the guitar tab layout, but nothing is getting me an F# on the 9th fret/3rd string. Any ideas?
    I wish I could do this in in Finale Notepad, but as far as I can tell, I can't do hammer on/pull off symbols unless I buy the upgrade...things I need to do in the THIRD measure!

    I am sorry to have to say that importing scores was not the reason for MIDI, it is for the MIDI editor only. There is a NEW system now called XML and it can transfer scores and midi, but Logic can only open XML files from SoundtrackPro, Other sequencers,[ Cubase5 ] say they can safely transfer scores but I haven't tried it yet. There is a reply in this forum marked !solved! from me to someone else in which I falsely claim that logic CAN import xml,I was wrong, dig deeper and you will find that the choices for importing are MIDI, ,OMF, Open TL, and AAF, I haven't found any info on what AAF can do, but the other two are only for audio files only. I don't remember Finale exporting AAF so no joy there. Happy searching.

  • Score editor: command z, bug?

    hi,
    I have a score with different time signatures: 3/8, 4/4, 7/7, 5/16, etc.
    Every time I press command+Z logic erases nearly all of my time signatures (and the last action I wanted to "undo" it isn't of course the addition of the time signatures logic erases )
    Is it a bug?
    thanks

    Hi Ko be
    I just tried opening in L8 an L7 song which has several key signature changes 4/4 to 7/4 to 4/3 and Command + Z doesnt erase them...
    I would be pretty sure that your problem is one of those bugs which occurs from a corruption within a Logic 8 document.. but is not a 'generic' L8 defect.
    L8 score editor - although improved in some ways - has driven me nuts with really simple weird bugs which L7 never used to do .. eg:
    • clicking on a chord symbol ( to bring up the box for editing different elements root/bass note etc) sometimes takes ages to activate - or when it does then the whole part disappears and you are left with a grey page which says " there is nothing in the score editor"
    • another intermittent bug is rubber banding a group of chord symbols to cut and paste simple, or drag alter alignment - just does not not work and the chords dont let themselves be selected and go into flashing mode. This is unbelievably irritating especially when you are expecting something so simple to work as before
    • the other method of selecting - holding shift and clicking on chord symbols to select a group doesnt work
    All this kind of stuff intermittent... ie you never know which Logic Song it is going to start behaving badly in
    all best

  • Score Editor

    I'm using my grand piano with midi capability to input data into my Logic express program.
    The rhythmic values that I play are always changing as a normal course of improvising. So 1 measure might have triplets, 16ths. *I play 8ths that are played in a swing feel, which should be notated EVENLY!* ARGH!
    I'm very confused about how to get these values to display properly in the score editor.
    If I play a line into the program with mixed rhythmic values I can't seem to get the score editor to display the result the way I want to see it. Is there a way to do this? An easy way?
    It appears that a great deal of editing is required to edit live playing to get a readable score in the score editor. I realize that playing accurately is crucial but it seems that I'm stuck even when I play accurately.
    Along the same lines, in a *piano score* can the S*PLIT between bass and treble clefs* be changed from one area of the score to another. Sometimes left hand comping part goe above C3 and sometimes the right hand will go BELOW C3. How to a display this in a piano score would be great to know. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks from

    That would be pretty slick, since Logic already does guess what chord you're playing. But to the best of my knowledge, the answer is no. I could be wrong, but I don't think Express does that.
    However, it appears that Logic Pro might be able to do it, as of 7.1.
    Here's Google's cache of the 7.1 notes for Pro
    You can insert chords from the global Chord Track into your score, and print them that way. Since Express doesn't have a chord track, it can't do this.

  • Bypass 'quantize' setting for individual notes in Score Editor?

    Hallo, I hope there is an expert here on Score-Editor...
    Basically I am using a quantize setting of 4,12 and it does look nice that way, BUT there are just 2 notes, which need to be in 1/16 value. is there any way to just 'Defeat' quantize as it is possible with 'Interpretation' etc? 'cause if I change the quantize setting f.e. to a smaller setting 'globally' it is just a mess and not worth it for the 2 notes?...I just can't find anything in the menus, manuals, etc...
    regards, Sebastian

    thanks for your reply.
    I just hoped there would be a better way, since this will not be practical method to pass on to the players... . I probably will import the midi track in Sibelius and do it this way...

  • Problem viewing .mid files in Score Editor

    Help please!
    Used Finale several years ago before I upgraded to OS 10 and Logic 7.2 Express. I recently opened one of my .mid files from Finale and it played back fine but when I tried to see the score in the Score Editor it was altered and only some of the notes were visible - even though they all played and were obviously "there" using other views such as Matrix or Event Editors!
    (The score in question still displays perfectly in Finale - the keyboard part in question has some large chord blocks that "build" but the build doesn't show in Score Editor - but the notes are "there and playing" - but it makes it hard to edit or follow in Score Editor.
    Before I go back into Finale for my notation/writing needs, I'd like to know if there is a way to bring these files into Logic "on all levels"- including the Score Editor - or is this a bug?
    Thanks in advance for the insight into the compatibilities or lack thereof between the two programs -

    There are many (read--jillions!) of options available within the score editor. When you open a score window on the midi sequence at hand first look at the inspector panel on the left side of the screen.
    The first be-triangled panel has a "syncopation" option. Toggle that and see what it does. Read the manual for how it decides what to do here. More importantly note your Quantize toggle there. This quantize is not for how the sequence sounds, but how it displays. Change it one of the more likely defaults 16,24 and you'll get one level of precision. Set it to 8,12 and you'll get another. Set it to 4 and you get nothing but quarter notes and half-notes.
    Read the manual for the myriad details, but hacking through the options may get you to what you intended.
    You should likely read up on "overlap" to see what kind of roadblocks it is or isn't providing.

  • Drums In Score Editor

    Hi, I read the manual for customizing the score editor to display your drum parts properly. But when I create a new mapped instrument in the environment, and edit the parts in the drum editor, such as creating new groups, and note heads....nothing happens in the the score.
    For instance if i take the B0 kick drum and change the note head, then I input that kick drum in the score editor (using a mapped score style with a kick drum voice) the kick drum will show up, but not with the new note head. For some reason no matter what I change in the new mapped instrument's drum editor the score won't reflect those changes.
    Any help very much appreciated!!

    Is there a simple way of changing the value of a note in Score Editor?
    Since representation of MIDI nots are is visually quantized in the Score window, the best solution is IMO to have both a score and a piano roll window open at the same time when you edit note lengths in Logic. At least if you want accurate edits.
    Alternatively, you could open the integrated HyperEditor in the Score window: you can't edit lengths there, but you can see them, and edit them using the Length parameter in the Inspector. However - if you do this, your edits won't be updated graphically until you release your mouse, and the method isn't very useful for editing notes played at the same time.
    If you edit manually played notes using the Nudge commands, you can risk creating overlapping notes, which could create results you don't want (overlapping notes).
    I used to use the score window for editing exclusively, but after having gotten used to using the piano roll, which both lets you see the velocity of each note and perform accurate edits of each note length, going back to editing in the Score window feels a little bit like with a fighting in the blind- which is why I use two windows combined.
    These Piano Roll and the Score window will never be 100% aligned (bar wise or playhead wise), but who knows, maybe we'll see an integrated solution one which lets you edit note lengths graphically in the score window - in one way or the other. This idea (see image below) wasn't bad at all...

  • Printing out in the score editor

    When I try to print a chart in the score editor, I just don't get the same picture that is on my screen. I wrote a big band chart (15 single staves), and I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get the printout of the whole score so that on each page there's 15 staves. Also, how could I make it so that I can put a title and author text without the text at a large size, but not overlapping into the staves. ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

And the difference between the Layout Tool and the Pointer is paramount: Click hold/drag with the Pointer and you can see in the Help Tag the Midi position altering. Click hold/drag with the Layout Tool and the Midi position remains the same but the graphic position alters.
    I would be very curious to get your take and that of iS on the following from a workflow point of view:
    - what your default mouse button settings are and what kind of mouse you use ( As a result of this discussion I just re-read the very first pages of the Logic 7 Manual which deal with use of the mouse. Is it worth getting a mouse with a scroll wheel? I am very attached to my Trackball Logitech which has no scroll wheel).
    - do you keep an Event Float window open.. or do you just set the display preference to show a Help Tag when you click on a graphic object in the score?

  • Note length in Score Editor

    This seems like a simple task with a simple solution, but I cannot figure it out.  I am adding notes using the score editor rather than the piano roll and I want to change the rhythm of a certain measure.  For example lets say I have 4 quarter notes in a measure and later on I change my mind and say I want 3 quarter notes and two 8th notes.  Or maybe I want to change the length of a quarter note to a dotted quarter note and then add an 8th note.  Is there an easy way to do this without deleting the entire contents of that measure.  I have tried increasing and decreasing the length/info in the event list, but maybe I am doing it wrong cause nothing changes?  I am new to logic, especially the score editor so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi
    There are a few peculiarities when working in the Score Editor.
    First, you should familiarise yourself with the "Interpretation" function. This tries to present 'clean' notation by interpreting the MIDI note events position and length. It will 'round up' the note/rest sizes displayed, without affecting any of the MIDI data. With Interpretation ON, changing the length of the note events in the Event List etc. may well not alter the notation.
    Second, you need to consider the Score Quantise function, which again does not alter the MIDI note events. In the Score, quantise merely sets the size of the smallest note or rest that will be displayed.
    You can adjust the absolute note length by various means, including:
    Event List
    Event Float
    Score:View;Duration Bars
    Event parameters in the Score Inspector
    Switch to the Piano Roll
    etc

  • HELP!! using Key switches and score editor.

    Hey guys,
    I'm in need of some help here.
    so I was wondering if there is a way to hide notes that are being used for keyswitching between various samples?
    the idea is so that I can keep a tidy score that I can print out as well.
    while using EWQL or VSL I do use notes outside of the range of the specific instrument to switch between various articulations, but I would like to have these notes "hidden" in the score view, so that if I print out the score it is clean and makes sense.
    any ideas would be greatly appreciate it it and thanks in advance.
    sincerely

    Hey there,
    so the only place I saw where I could change the range was in the inspector for the midi track in the arrange window. I changed it there, however, the notes that are out of range still show up in the score window.
    sorry if I sound dumb, I'm not used to using score editor in Logic I normally use Sibelius for this and I really appreciate your help.
    thank you

  • Trouble using the Voice Separation Tool in the Score Editor.

    Hello,
    I am trying to change the notes in a piano score from the treble clef to the bass clef and vice versa.
    I've tried going under Score Editor>Layout>Staff Styles, choosing piano 1/3 and making sure the channels were set, but it doesn't seem to actually change anything. And when I try to use the Voice Separation Tool, I just get the message: "The Voice Separation tool only works for polyphonic staff styles with MIDI channel assignments."
    I am new to Logic and am sure it's something very basic that I'm missing.
    Many thanks for the help!

    You must actually assign the Staff Style to the regions in the top left of the Score Inspector:
