Window Management Functions
The Windows > Tile Windows function tiles all open windows, and makes them all the
same size.
The Windows > Stack Windows function stacks all open windows on top of one another,
so that at least a part of the title bar is visible for each window, no matter which is the
foreground window at the time.
The Windows > Tile Windows horizontally function tiles all open windows, using all
available horizontal space for each individual window (if possible).
Edit Operations
The local edit menus in Logic’s various windows all take the same form. The top two
items are Undo and Redo. Below Redo are the typical Clipboard functions (see “The
Clipboard” on page 32), and at the bottom of each are the main selection commands.
Undo
Undo allows you to reverse the previous edit. The default key command for Undo is
Command-Z.
Multiple Undo and Redo
An unlimited number of editing steps can be undone. This also applies to the Redo
function. You can determine the number of undo steps in the Preferences menu.
The Clipboard
The Clipboard is an invisible area of memory, into which you can cut or copy selected
objects, allowing them to be pasted to a different location.
The Clipboard is universal, which means that it can be used to exchange objects
between songs.
Cut
All selected objects are removed from their current position, and placed on the
Clipboard. The previous contents of the Clipboard are overwritten in the process (key
command is Command-X).
Copy
A copy of all selected objects is placed on the Clipboard. The selected objects are left in
place. Here too, the previous contents of the Clipboard are overwritten (key command
is Command-C).
Paste
All objects from the Clipboard are copied into the top window. The Clipboard is not
erased in the process (key command is Command-V).
