Yet another score editor.track freeze bug?

scenario:
string section 1st, 2nd, vla, celli, cbasses, all frozen.
i start editing by unfreezing the cbasses. cool.
then i unfreeze the celli to edit them. ok.
then i change back forth from the score to the arrange a coupla times.
then i go to edit the cbasses in the score and logics warns the track is frozen.
it isn't.
this happens a lot.
best, david r.

Hey Wolfgang -
I've tried to reproduce this in CVI 2010 and CVI 2009 SP1, but haven't been able to so far.  You're directions seem very straightforward, so I wonder if I'm just missing something?  I've attached a flash video file of my attempt to reproduce the issue, could you take a look and let me know if there's something else I need to do?
I'm very sorry to hear that you have lost your work today.  We intend CVI to give you the opportunity to save your files before it crashes, but we've found a bug that has been preventing this mechanism from working.  That bug should be fixed in the next major version of CVI.
I'm just curious, do you have autosave enabled in CVI?  CVI should make backups of any unsaved files periodically (configurable from Options»Environment»Auto backup interval), and prompt you to restore the backups in the event of a crash.  Does this mechanism seem to be working for you?

  • 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

  • Yet another Score Question

    At the risk of overloading the usual kindly suspects with score questions, is there a simple method to easily convert an entire arrangement already done in 4/4 time (with 16ths feel) .. to 8ths over a cut time feel with double the number of bars?
    Musicians in rehearsal yesterday said they would find it easier to be reading 8th notes over twice as many bars.

    Hallo spirit,
    First: merge the regions per track (and count the number of bars of that merged region)
    Second: Drag the end of the region until the region has the double lentgh while pressing the option key, confirm the dialog: stretch(shorten/lengthen)
    Third: you may change the time signature in the time sig editor.
    You're lucky that your track is in straight 4/4, otherwise you would loose your mind with logics handling of tim sig changes (sorry about that comment - please Apple, improve the time sig editor and global track!!)
    Cheers Eddie

  • Yet another nasty punch in/out bug

    What is this?? Punching in before a region then punching out inside the region DELETES IT! This is in replace mode. Am I missing something here? Check it out:

    Isn't the problem discussed in this thread exactly the bug that 9.02 is supposed to have fixed?
    This is not the problem. Replace mode was broken with the release of version 9, but was fixed in the 9.02 update.
    The problem we're discussing here, is, the audio region that follows the punch out point often now disappears from the arrange page.

  • YET ANOTHER--AND DIFFERENT--7.7 BUG ... HELP, APPLE !!!

    Downloaded 7.7, and it opened both my wife's and my iTunes libraries. Perused the App Store, etc, very cool.
    But now suddenly I get a dialog that says "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Great. And yes, it says "newer". What could be newer than 7.7?! (This happens when trying to launch either library).
    All this happened in the space of a half hour. So now what? We can't access our stuff!!!!

    HI Jonny, this is the G5? <holding breath>
    Let DW do it's thing. It may take quite a while. If DW cannot complete the task, I'd try running AHT ("Apple Hardware Test").
    If CD's came with your computer it is on a CD labeled "Hardware Test" To test with CD, insert the CD and restart holding the "c" key until you see the spinning gear.
    If DVD insert DVD then:
    1. Turn on or restart the computer.
    2. Immediately press and hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manger screen appearsThe Startup Manager scans for available volumes.
    3. Optional: Clicking the circular arrow rescans for other volumes, including NetBoot Server volumes. You can eject any disc in the drive or open an empty tray-loading drive by holding down the Command (Apple) and Period (.) keys. The Command-Period key combination will also close the drive. After inserting a CD capable of starting up your computer, you could rescan for volumes.
    4. Click the startup volume you want to use. "Hardware Test"
    If hardware test does not mount or does not run bring the computer to Authorized Apple Repair.

  • Score Editor bug: syncopating a note disturbs line layout

    In the example below, the instrumental part with max 2 bars per line has been created with the Layout Tool, and then the selection saved as a Score Set ( which i hope locks all the page details in place).
    [img] http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo82/dogliege/Picture3.png [/img]
    I then noticed that the red circled note is not displayed correctly - it should be a dotted eighth note and duly click on it with my Syncopate note command.
    This then produces the following effect: it crunches up the bars and disturbs the line layout which was already set, cramming 3 bars onto the line above as in the example below.
    [img]http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo82/dogliege/Picture4.png[/img]
    Any solutions appreciated/workflow suggestions.. or is this just "..another L8 Score Editor bug.. wasting more of 2009"
    PS Any suggestions as how to get the images to display in the post - as opposed to appear a link? cheers

    i should be enjoying my holiday but i couldn't help myself...
    there are a couple of fixes for this.
    first, try cutting the regions somewhere to force a redraw.
    second, if no form of cutting or reformatting works, try copy and pasting the midi into a fresh autoload on the intel.
    particularly if the file was created pre 7.2. there can be compatibility issues between ppc and intel.

  • Yet another Mac Book Pro (A1211/2.33 GHz) freeze problem

    Hi everyone,
    I have yet another freeze mystery, if people fancy having a crack at it.
    I had this notebook for about 4 and a half years and it served me well until 2 months ago. It is a 15' MBP from December 2008 (A1211) with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM.
    Now I constantly get lags or freezes while I am using it.It manifests itself via the beachball and a frozen screen. First, I thought it was the hard drive but I replaced it with a tested new one and I still get the same behaviour. The reason I thought it was the HD is that it seems to freeze often when there was a lot of access to HD or memory. For example, firefox would cause a freeze quite often when it was trying to access the cache or history. I get the same behaviour when trying indexing my music for the genius feature. Often when I close applications, it will halt the system for about 2 minutes.
    I think the number of lags also correlates with temperature. I am pretty sure that the notebook's heat diffusion properties has deteriorated strongly over the past year as it seems to be using the fans a lot more extensively. The heatsink seems to get really hot these days as well. So my next step would be checking the thermal paste on the heat sink. Before I am going to do that, I want to consider any remaining options as dismantling the laptop up to the heatsink is a bit of a pain.
    My gut feeling would be that it has to do either with the memory or maybe some 'bridge' that transfers the data between HD, GPU, CPU and memory. I am aware that bridge is the wrong word and I am simplifying the architecture of the mainboard too much, but I am sure you get what I mean. The data rate between some of those is inhibited.
    The reason why I am saying some is that often the system seems overwhelmed by the amount of commands, just sits there and then resumes executing all of them as it had taken a break. This can be easily seen when streaming video in a web browser. I often get the beach ball and my whole screen freezes, but the movie, or at least the sound, keeps running in the background. After a while it usually resumes and shows the movie at the current playing position. Sometimes it doesn't recover, not even after 30 minutes and I have to switch it off.
    I hope I provided enough information for you guys to have a think about this.
    Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

    Before re-installing the operating system, which might also work, I found this article helpful:
    http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Fix-Spod-How-To-Fix-A-Spinning-Pinwheel -Of-Death.htm
    I've followed the directions since they seem to make sense and am waiting for the next Pinwheel of Death. They seem to be saying the same thing you are Chris, but ascribe the problem to 'permissions' which are fixable (gasp) via the OS disc utility.

  • How can i see multi tracks in the score editor

    Sorry for this trivial ,but i can not find it
    thanks

    Hi
    Use the "Up a level" arrow top left of the Score Editor (next to the layout menu)
    Or select all the regions you need and open a new Score Editor window from the Window menu(Cmd 5)

  • Some Drum notes not displaying in Score editor

    I have a problem with a project in getting a correct display of the drum notes in the Score editor despite the playback being OK. I have a mapped drum instrument set up with an identcal structure to that on another project which is working properly. This includes the staff type, the establishment of the drum groups, the relative note positions etc. The difference I have found when comparing the event editor contents between the project which does dispaly correctly and the one the doesn't is that on the one that does, each note is the event list shows the drum type e.g. ride cym, snare, kick etc. whereas as in the project with the display problems, the event display for each note simply shows the word 'Note' even for the parts of the track which do display correctly.
    Can anyone advise where the problem could be. I've spent the best part of the day trying to sort this out and now am at a loss as to what to try next !
    thanks for any advice.

    Hi
    Do you have the track correctly assigned to the Mapped Instrument Environment object?
    One way is to drag the Mapped Instrument from the Environment window onto the Track Header

  • 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.

  • Playback of repeats in score editor

    Is there any way to have Logic intelligently follow the repeats indicated in the score editor during playback? DP, even though the score editor *****, has a way to do this.
    One of the main reasons I switched to Logic was so that I wouldn't have to export to a score editor. However, I end up having to make a score only version of my Logic tracks any way because repeats and first and second endings aren't followed.
    Thanks in advance.

    you can do it by using special kinds of environment objects which will follow meta events. if you set a marker at the repeat sign you can get this fader to make the SPL jump to another marker positioned earlier in the score.
    i did it once years ago and found surprisingly easy, but i almost never work with repeats so i don't really bother with it.
    you need to read the manual which discusses this in the environment section, one of the few parts of the manual that actually informs you.

  • 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.

  • Score Editor: Orange Padlocks

    In the last day I have re-read the entire chapter on the Score Editor manual but there is no reference to the ORANGE PADLOCKS which seem to appear at random .. tantalisingly offering hope of *remembering the individual part layout* .. which is my biggest time wasting bugbear.
    They appear at random when you open the Score Set of a Part - I make Score Sets out of each individual part in the hope of layout security
    But they dont appear when you just open an individual part from the Arrange window
    If someone could explain exactly how they work I would be seriously grateful
    M S

    Okay, gleaning one hint each time--this time your use of the word "layout tool"--I've finally managed to create a padlock on the page. See manual pg. 805. I moved a bar from one line to the next, in theory because I need more space on the "from" line for a handful of appoggiaturas. Once done, I have a padlock appearing on the "from" line. This is the same as the display example indicated, though not explained in the text. Since I forced a format change "locking" that activity to that staff, I assume this is the intended significance of the padlock.
    So to your original post: You now have a visual reference to the orange padlock and and an assumed indication of it's intent: It reminds you that this line is "locked" to special indication of bars requested.
    On to your implied questions then: Remembering the individual part layout. Can you walk me through a simple scenario by which you configure a part layout, or point me to one in the manual, and then indicate how it doesn't stick? I might well discover it on my own, but it would take less time to assume I've encountered your exact dilemma.
    As a caveat, I notice in the forum at www.logic-users-group, in response to my question about one aspect of score display, another user cited notable list of "broken" stuff in the scoring process of Logic. Everything about his screed indicated it is the source of some pretty long-term angst. I don't intend to bum you out, but it might be one of the "bugs" he's referred to. You might confer with that crew.
    Good luck!

  • Printing in Score Editor

    Hello everyone, new here.
    I am a new Logic Pro 8 user, and recently I arranged and mixed a composition in Logic Pro. The thing is that when I "Select all" the tracks and go to Score Editor, it only shows one track (and only a part of it, if the track's music is divided in multiple parts). I really don't know what to do, as I have a deadline for next week. If someone could please show me a quick tutorial on preparing and printing the scores, I would be very grateful. (The Getting Started tutorial didn't help me that much) So basically, all I need is to insert the title and the instrumentation on the score and then select it all and print it.
    Thank you for your time guys, have a nice day.

    a quick crash course:
    the score editor is the easiest part of logic to master provided, 1) you are musically literate, and 2) you understand some very simple core concepts.
    but before that just to get you going (look up any terms i use):
    1. you need to make sure that content catch (the link button) is grey. if you still don't see your full score then click the arrow next to it.
    2. as matter of simplicity, it is easier if you name your audio object (now called control strip) the name of the instrument you want to have appear as the name in your score.
    3. you need to look in view/page display options/ and select show margins. then you can see where you have to drag your title to.
    the core concepts:
    *instrument sets and staff styles.*
    the instrument set displays your score, section and parts. set a KC (key command) for 'create instrument set from selection.' now, when you have the staves highlighted in the All Instruments view, it will make a score out of your selected instruments. imagine you had a string quartet and some midi instruments. you only want to display the string quartet as a score, so you select those staves and hit the KC. now you will have a score only of the strong quartet.
    this goes further...you can then edit sections of a full orchestra...and finally you should make an instrument set for each part you want to print. ie if you were printing the clarinet part it would be a set with just the clarinet in it.
    the reason for this is that instrument sets can be formatted independently of one another. and this is why you couldn't edit the the All Instruments set. you have to make an instrument set first.
    staff styles: you can have as many different staff styles as you want for each instrument and they will print out correctly. that means you can have staff style just for a bit where you want to show different voices, or just for a bit with an ossia (a double stave style). when you are using a mutlivoice staff style, you can do things like hide notes you don't to see, for example in a glissando, because those styles will only display the notes with the midi channel you have set for them.
    each midi region in arrange can have its own staff style setting. so you can chop up your violin 1 part as much as you want and assign it different score styles throughout depending on what you need.
    final core concept - MIDI.
    don't trust your eyes!!!! only trust midi information when placing things in your score. always ensure that when you insert something in the score that it is in the right midi position. here i am talking about text and various score markings you drag from the partbox.
    here are the KC's you absolutely need to have for work in the score editor:
    1. create instrument set from selection. you should use this a lot!
    2. open staff style editor.
    3. open instrument set editor. edit your instrument set so that it looks right is scaled properly etc. when using the logic default score styles, i recommend setting your parts for printing to no more than 85%. any more and the writing is unnecessarily big.
    honestly, if you work those KC's, and stick to those concepts, everything just falls together after that. of all the notation editors i have used, logic's is by far the most intuitive and flexible - but i stress - you have to grock those concepts.

  • Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

    Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

    Hi Emlou,
    If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
    It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
    Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
    Thanks!
    Paul
