Time Signature Changes
If you alter the bar numerator or denominator in the Transport window, a time
signature is created at the start of the bar occupied by the current song position. This is
shown in the Bar Ruler, to the left of the bar number and in the Global Signature track,
if visible. A time signature change does not affect the absolute positions of any existing
time signature events that are already inserted.
Note: You can also add time signature changes directly in the Score Editor (see “Time
Signatures” on page 362) by double-clicking on any MIDI Region that spans the
signature change.
To edit time signature changes:
m Move the Song Position Line to the target bar, and set the new time signature in the
Transport window. Alternately, you can activate the Signature track via the View >
Global Tracks menu option, and manually insert them (see “Signature Track” on
page 244).
You can also edit the time signature in the Score Editor.
To erase time signature changes:
m Simply change the time signature to match the value of the preceding/previously used
time signature.
Note: You can also erase time signatures in the Score Editor by selecting them, and
hitting Backspace. To erase all time signature events, select Edit > Select Similar
Objectsbefore doing so.

MIDI Monitor
The top line shows the last MIDI message received, and the bottom line the last MIDI
message transmitted. The monitor is mainly used for checking MIDI connections.
Automatic Chord Interpretation
The MIDI activity panel of the Transport window shows chord symbols when Logic
receives more than one MIDI note simultaneously. The respective, held intervals
(between notes) are interpreted and displayed as chords.
