Apple Logic Express 7 - Manual (Page 33)

Chapter 1 Using Logic 33
The contents of the Clipboard are added at the current song position (if they are events
or Regions). The song position is incremented by the length of the pasted Region/
event(s).
In the Arrange window, the contents of the Clipboard are pasted to the selected track.
If events are pasted into the Arrange window, either a new MIDI Region or Region is
created, or the events are added to a selected MIDI Region. Any existing Regions
remain unchanged.
In the Environment window, the Objects are pasted into the layer currently being
displayed, at their original positions.
Clear
Any selected objects are erased. Clear has no effect on the Clipboard, and is
functionally identical to pressing the Backspace key.
Selection Techniques
Whenever you want to perform a function on one or more objects, you first need to
select the objecs. This applies equally to Regions, individual events or Environment
Objects. Selected objects are either displayed in an inverted color scheme, or will flash
(in the Score Editor).
An object selected in one window will also be selected in all other windows that
display that object. Changing the top window doesn’t affect the selection (as long as
you don’t click on the background, which deselects everything. Be sure to click on the
window’s title bar).
Goto Selection Start/End
The Goto Selection Start/End key command moves the song position line to the location
of the first/most recently selected event in the top window.
Selecting Individual Objects
Individual objects may be selected by clicking on them, and deselected by clicking on
the background or by selecting another object.
You can also use the Select next/previous Region/event key commands (default: right/left
arrows, M/I in the Event List). Select first/last selects the first/last object of the currently
displayed level.
Selecting Alphabetically
The Tab key selects the next alphabetical object. In the Arrange or Environment
windows, pressing any letter key selects the first object with a name that begins with
the chosen letter (as in the Mac’s Finder), provided that no key command is assigned to
this key.
