Using Logic

In Cycle mode, the selection techniques covered above only affect events that fall
within the Cycle area.

“Rubber-Banding”

To select consecutive objects, click on the background and drag a “rubber band” over
them. All objects touched, or enclosed, by the rubber band will be selected.

Toggling the Selection Status

When you make any selection (including by rubber band or horizontal selection) while
holding down Shift, the active selection status of the objects (events) will be reversed.

You can reverse the selection status of all objects (events) by using Edit > Toggle
Selection.As an example of where this would be useful: if you want to select all Regions
in a song, with the exception of a few, first select the Regions that you don’t wish to
use, and then Toggle Selection.

Selecting Following Regions/Events

To select all Regions/events after the currently selected one (or, if no Region/event is
currently selected, to select all Regions/events after the song position line), use the Edit
> Select all Following function.

Selecting Regions/Events Within the Locators (Vertical selection)

Edit > Select Inside Locatorsselects all Regions/events lying wholly or partly inside the
locator positions.

Deselecting Regions/Events Outside the Locators

Edit > Deselect Outside Locators deselects all Regions/events outside the
locators: Regions/events within the locator boundaries remain unchanged.

In the Score editor, this command works on whole MIDI Regions, as well as events.

This command is particularly handy after use of the Select Equal Regions/Events or Select
Similar Regions/events commands, to restrict the effects of ensuing commands to the
area that falls between the locators.

Deselecting Regions Outside the Current Track

The Deselect All Regions Except Recording Track key command deselects any Regions not
on the currently selected track.

This command is especially useful after other special selection commands, ensuring
that the effects of ensuing commands are limited to the recording track.

Selecting Empty Regions

Edit > Select Empty Regions selects all empty Regions.

Selecting Overlapped Regions/Events

Edit > Select Overlapped Regions/Events selects all overlapping Regions/Events.
