Arrange Window

Exiting a Folder
To change to a higher display level of the Arrange window, double-click on the
background. The Go Out of Folder or Region key command does the same.

Moving Regions into Folders

…is as easy as drag-and-drop. Drag the Region(s) from the original track onto the
folder at the desired position and release the mouse. If the folder does not already
contain a track with the same instrument as the original track, Logic creates one. When
you look inside the folder, you will see the Region at the drop position.

Folder Editing: Just Like Regions

In principle, you can do anything with folders that you can do with Regions (see “MIDI
Regions” on page 128).

Unpacking Folders

Unpacking Individual Regions

If you want to move individual Regions from a folder to a higher level, there are two
ways of doing so:

Go to the display level that you want to add the Region to. Now, open a second
Arrange window by pressing Command-1 (default). Go into the folder that you want
to remove the Region from, and drag it from one Arrange window into the other.

Go to the display level that you want to remove the Region from. Select the Region
and transfer it to the Clipboard by pressing Command-X. Change to the display level
that you want to add the Region to. Select the desired track, and set the song
position line to the desired position, then add the Region by pressing Command-V.

Unpacking Folders

Use the Region > Folder > Unpack Folder command to dismantle the selected folder. If
you select Unpack Folders (Create new tracks) Logic will create new tracks on the same
level that the folder was located on (below the former folder track). If you select Unpack
Folders (Use existing tracks)
, the Regions contained within it are placed on tracks set to
the appropriate instruments.
