Using Key Commands
Each tool can be selected via a specific key command. Key commands that switch to a
specific tool toggle between this tool and the previously selected tool.
The Tools
Here are two example Toolboxes, which contain most of the tools available in Logic:
Arrange Toolbox
Score Toolbox
All tools, including a number of tools not displayed in the images, are described below.
As mentioned earlier, some tools are specific to certain editing windows.
Pointer
The Pointer is the default tool. The mouse also takes on this shape outside the working
area when making a menu selection or inputting a data value. Within the working area,
the pointer is used for selecting (by clicking on Objects or Regions), moving (by
grabbing and dragging), copying (by holding down Option and dragging), and editing
lengths (by grabbing the bottom right corner and dragging). Grabbing and dragging
anywhere on the window background activates a “rubber band”, that allows the
selection of multiple Regions or Objects.
Note:
When changing the lengths of multiple Regions, you can make all lengths equal
by holding Shift-Option.
