Chapter 15 Score Editor 417
The following display options are available for Clefs, Key Signatures, and Time
Signatures:
• Every Staff
• First Staff on Every Page
• First Staff on Page 1
• Hide All
• Display Warnings at Line Breaks: this causes “warning” clefs, time signatures, or key
signature changes to be displayed at the end a staff or stave system, if the actual
change is at the beginning of the subsequent staff or stave system.
The following options are also available:
For Clefs:
Smaller Clef Changes (pull-down menu): clef changes (whether caused by a change of
Score Style, or by a new clef inserted from the Part box) can be displayed at a smaller
size than the clefs at the beginning of staves, depending on this setting.
For Key Signatures:
Automatic Key Transposition
This enables the automatic transposition of key signatures in transposing Score Styles.
This will usually be activated. An exception would be for the notation of atonal music. If
deactivated, all sharps and flats are displayed directly with the notes. Note that there is
a similar option in the Score Style window (Key parameter), which allows you to switch
off the key signature for individual Score Styles, or even for individual staves in multi-
stave Score Styles.
Minimize Transposed Accidentals
This enables the use of enharmonically changed key signatures, if this results in a
signature with fewer accidentals. As an example, if a piece is written in B major (5
sharps), the Bb instruments are notated in Db major (5 flats) instead of C# major (7
sharps).
Please note that Logic does not display key signatures with more than seven flats or
sharps, whether this option is activated or not.
Show Naturals
This displays naturals at key signature changes, where preceding accidentals are no
longer valid (when changing from E major to G major, or to C minor, for example).
Show Grace Accidentals
If this option is activated, courtesy accidentals are automatically displayed. This
means: wherever a diatonic note is altered by an accidental, another accidental (a
natural symbol, in many cases) will be displayed when that note appears (unaltered) in
a subsequent bar.
