Hint: these can be especially useful when used in combination with the Select Next/
Previous Event key commands, which allow you to move the selection from note to
note.
• Using the Voice Separation tool: this tool allows you to draw a separation line
between the notes, thereby assigning them to the MIDI channels of the Voices. Place
the tool between the staves, and draw a line where you want to separate the Voices,
while holding down the mouse button. The following example shows the resulting
separation line. If you make a mistake, just move the mouse back slightly to the left
(with the button still pressed). This erases the separation line to the right of the tool.
Then try again.
The result of the procedure will look like this:
Note: The Voice Separation tool can only be used if MIDI channels are pre-defined for
each of the Voices that you want to separate. This is because Logic needs to know
which MIDI channels to assign to the notes.
Voice Assignment When Using Mouse Input
If you insert notes with the mouse into a multiple stave Score Style, these are
automatically assigned to the staff/Voice/channel in which they are placed. If the staff
contains several Voices (see below), the MIDI channel will correspond to the Insert
Defaults channel setting (but only if that particular channel is used by one of the Voices
in the staff ).
There is a Staff parameter in the Event Parameter box for most Symbols inserted into
multiple stave Score Styles. This parameter determines which staff the symbol belongs
to. This is also relevant for the vert.pos setting of the symbol.
