Send full MIDI Reset before Chasing
A full MIDI reset (for all ports and all MIDI channels) is sent before any event chasing
begins.
Score Settings
All Score Song Settings are described in the Score Section (see “Song Settings for Score
Display” on page 410).
Preferences
The settings made in Logic’s Preferences panels are saved as a number of files in the $/
User/Library/Preferences folder. Keyboard shortcuts (key commands) are saved in a
separate file in the same folder. Preference settings apply to all songs.
Note: You can’t open the Preferences files directly. Any changes must be made in Logic.
Initializing the Preferences…
If you erase any of the Preference files, Logic will create new Preferences files the next
time it is launched. All parameters will be reset to their default values. When you erase
the Preferences files, you also lose all of your customized key commands.
…and how to do it without losing your keyboard assignments
If you’d like to initialize the Preferences, but don’t want to lose your customized key
commands, select the Preferences > Initialize all except Commands menu item.

Global Preferences: Song Handling
Hide Windows of inactive Songs
Only the windows of active songs are displayed. All other windows belonging to songs
currently in memory are hidden. In this mode, you must use the main Windows menu
to switch between songs.
When opening a song, ask to close current song(s)?
Whenever you load a new song before closing the old one, a dialog box will appear,
and ask whether or not the current song should be closed. If this option is left
unchecked, you will not be asked the question, and the current song will remain open.
Export MIDI File…’ saves single MIDI Regions as Format 0
If only one MIDI Region is selected when you make use of the File > Export MIDI File…
function, the contents of the Region are saved in MIDI file format 0. This file format is
guaranteed to be compatible with every MIDI file player.
Automatically open most recent song on startup
Activation of this option will automatically launch the song that you were working on
when Logic was last closed.
