• If you want to insert an Independent Note directly, Option-select a note with the
mouse from the Part box, and drag it to the desired position. Independent Grace Notes
cannot be inserted directly. They need to be created by converting regular or
Independent notes.
In most situations, you will need to create additional graphic distance between the
Grace Note and the note it is associated with. The best way is by using the Layout tool
(see “Editing With Tools” on page 371) to move the main note away from the grace
note.
Hint: if you want to create beamed grace notes, try using a polyphonic Score Style (see
“Editing Single-Staff Polyphonic Styles” on page 392) with no rests displayed for the
second voice. Assign the desired grace notes to the second voice, and resize them with
the Sizing tool.
Sustain Pedal Symbols
These two symbols are the only score symbols—excepting the notes themselves—that
directly represent MIDI events (MIDI controller #64, sustain pedal on and off ), and thus
affect MIDI playback. Logic intelligently inserts the On or Off version of the symbol,
depending on the status of the type that preceded it (a Sustain Off always follows a
Sustain On and vice versa).
Clefs
The clefs in the Part box are generally intended for clef changes in the middle of a part,
for a short section of the music. An example would be cello or bassoon parts, when the
part changes to a higher register. Inserted clefs change the score display, starting at the
precise insert position (which can even be in the middle of a bar).
You shouldn’t use the Part box clefs to change the clef of a whole MIDI Region. In this
situation, choose an appropriate Score Style (see “Basics” on page 380) for the Region.
