No Overlap
No Overlap ON prevents the overlapped display of notes in melodies that are played
with an exaggerated legato. The effect can be seen in the following example, which
shows the same MIDI Region, first without, then with Overlap correction:
No Overlap should only be deactivated in rare cases. If, for example, a piano player
arpeggiates a chord and holds the notes, the score displays the following result with No
Overlap ON:
Although you can’t see here that all notes continue to sound, if you deactivate No
Overlap, the result looks like this:
The solution typically is to switch No Overlap ON, and use sustain pedal markings. If the
notes are recorded in real time with a MIDI keyboard, using a sustain pedal, Logic will
display the pedal markings automatically.
Max. Dots
This parameter determines how many dots Logic will allow for the display of single
notes. Unwanted dotted notes or rests can be changed by inserting User Rests (which
will stay invisible in the case of notes, see the section Changing the Way Notes with
Ties Are Displayed (see “Ties” on page 498)).
Score off
This parameter is not included in the Display Parameter box. You will find it in the
Extended Sequence Parameters, which you open via the global menu Options >
Extended Sequence Parameters (or key command). If Score is set to off here, the MIDI
Region will not be displayed in the score at all. This is mainly used to prevent the score
display of Regions containing only MIDI events which would not be displayed in the
score anyway, like controller or SysEx data.
