For Key Signatures:
Automatic Key Transposition
This enables the automatic transposition of key signatures in transposing Score Styles.
Usually, this will be activated. An exception would be for the notation of atonal music. If
it is deactivated, all sharps and flats are displayed directly with the notes. Note that
there is a similar option in the Score Style window (parameter “Key”), which allows you
to switch off the key signature for individual Score Styles, or even for individual staves
in multi-stave Score Styles.
Minimize Transposed Accidentals
This enables the use of enharmonically changed key signatures, if this results in a
signature with less accidentals. As an example, if a piece is written in B major (5 sharps),
the Bb-instruments are notated in Db major (5 flats) instead of C# major (7 sharps).
Please note that Logic does not display any key signatures with more than seven flats
or sharps, whether this option is activated or not.
Show Naturals
This displays naturals at key signature changes, where preceding accidentals are no
longer valid, for example when changing from E major to G major, or to C minor).
Show Grace Accidentals
If this option is activated, courtesy accidentals will be displayed automatically. This
means: wherever a diatonic note is altered by an accidental, another accidental (i.e. in
many cases a natural symbol) will be displayed when that note appears again unaltered
in a subsequent bar.
For Time Signatures/Barlines
Hide Barlines
This option allows you to hide all barlines, which can be useful for educational material,
gregorian plain chant notation, and other special situations.
Only automatically displayed barlines will be hidden, so it is still possible to insert
barlines from the Part box, including the “regular” bar line, which will then be displayed
and printed.
Octave Symbols
These settings enable you to edit the text string and the text format of the different
octave symbols.
