Apple Logic Pro 7 - Manual (Page 67)

Chapter 1 Using Logic 67
Opening pre Version 7 Songs
When loading a song created in a pre-version 7 Logic, the song format will be
converted to the version 7 format. When saving this song for the first time, a file
selector dialog will be opened, so that the old song file will not be overwritten
automatically.
Note: Once saved in version 7 format, a song can no longer be opened with versions
prior to version 7 (exception: Logic versions 6.4.3 and higher can open the song, but at
the expense of all Logic 7 specific features). A song can be exported (see “Saving
Songs” on page 68) as a version 4.8 song.
Special Functions
Importing Settings from Other Songs
The main menu bar’s File > Song Settings > Import Settings function allows you to
import various settings from other songs (you can also use the Import Settings key
command). These settings include:
• Screensets
• Transform Sets
• Hyper Edit Sets
• Score Instrument Sets
• Score Styles
• Score Settings (all Song Settings that pertain to the Score, such as Numbers & Names
or Clefs & Signatures…)
To import settings from another song:
1 Select File > Song Settings > Import Settings. A dialog box appears, and you can select
the desired settings, individually.
2 If you only want to import the Screensets from a given song, for example, then limit
your selection to this particular option.
3 Click on Import, or hit Enter.
4 If only one song is currently loaded, a file selector box will open, enabling you to select
the song that you wish to import the settings from.
5 If several songs are loaded, the file selector box will not appear. In this scenario, the
settings from the song that was active prior to the current one are imported
automatically.
Checking/Repairing Songs
If you double-click on the remaining number of free events display (see “Tempo/Free
Memory” on page 90) on the Transport Bar, the memory will be reconfigured. At the
same time, the current song will be checked for any signs of damage, structural
problems, and unused blocks.
