The Score Style Window
There are several ways to open the Score Style window:
• double-click on the Style parameter in the Display Parameter box
• Layout > Score Styles…
• Key command Open Score Style Window
• Occasionally in the Arrange or Environment window: Double-click in the bottom line
(Default Style) of the Instrument Parameter box.
Along the left side of the Score Style window there are some elements which also exist
in other Logic windows:
Link Button
If the Link button is activated while the Score Style window is open, you can always see
the parameters of the currently selected MIDI Region’s Score Style. If you switch to a
different MIDI Region, the Score Style window will show the new selection.
Toolbox
This Toolbox contains the Pointer tool (same as the regular mouse cursor), the Pencil
tool (for creating new staves and Voices) and the Eraser tool (for deleting Score Styles,
staves, or Voices).
Name Box/Style Selector
The field below the Toolbox shows the name of the currently selected Score Style. If
you click and hold on it, a pull-down menu appears, listing all Styles that are available
in the current song. With this, you can switch to another Score Style.
Parameter Groups
The Score Style Parameters are grouped horizontally in three main sections (top
line): Staff, Voice and Assign.
Staff:
The Parameters for staves. Each line below the word Staff represents one staff in the
score display.
Voice:
The Parameters for independent Voices. Each line below the word Voice represents one
independent voice. The term Voice here only relates to the simultaneous display of
rhythmically independent, polyphonic passages in the music, not how many notes can
be displayed simultaneously. One Voice can still consist of as many simultaneous notes
(chords) as desired. Only notes which should be displayed as rhythmically independent
from the other notes in the same staff need to be assigned to separate Voices.
