Repeat Endings
The Text Style for anything written into the repeat ending boxes (usually just numbers,
but text can also be entered).
Chord Root, Chord Extension
Used for the display of chord symbols. Root concerns the root and the (optional) extra
bass note in chord symbols, and Extension is anything else.
Multiple Rests
The Text Style for the number above multiple rests.
Tablature
Used for the display of fret numbers in guitar tablature (see “Guitar Tablature” on
page 419).
Tempo Symbols
Used for the display of the numbers in tempo symbols (see “Tempo and Swing
Symbols” on page 368), which can be inserted from the Part box.
Creating Additional Text Styles
Select New > New Text Style: a new line will appear below the bottom Text Style entry,
allowing you to define the attributes of the new Text Style(s). The names of any new
style can be edited in the text entry field, which opens when you click on the name of
the Text Style.
Changing the Same Font in Several Text Styles Simultaneously
If you change a Text Style’s font (pull-down menu) while holding Option, the change
will affect all Text Styles that use the same font. This is a quick method for changing
Logic’s default Text Styles to preferred fonts, for example.
This method is also especially useful if you load a Logic song which was created on
another computer, and uses text fonts that aren’t installed on your system (if this is the
case, a warning message is displayed when you open the song). The names of
unavailable fonts are displayed in parentheses in the Text Style window.
Font References
When you activate Options > Show Font References, any Text Styles which were created
by directly editing a text object’s attributes in the Event Parameter box, or from the Text
menu, are listed as Font References. Delete Unused Font References deletes any Font
References that are no longer in use. Edits to Font References aren’t possible in the Text
Style window, with the exception of changing the font. This display option is primarily
used to replace missing fonts in Font References.
