You can use any of the standard selection techniques in the Event List: individual selection by
clicking events, multiple selection by dragging, or both of these (without altering the previous
selection), in conjunction with the Shift key.
Tip: When selecting events with the Pointer tool, you should click the event name in the Status
column, to avoid any unintentional parameter alterations.
Right-click in the Event List to open a shortcut menu that contains selection, editing, and other
commands. Use these commands to accelerate your workflow.
Note: The right-click shortcut menu can only be accessed if the Right Mouse Button: Opens
Shortcut Menu option is chosen in Logic Pro > Preferences > General > Editing.

Note: If the MIDI Out button (Output button) is on (it’s on by default), every newly selected event
is played. This allows you to scroll (or play) through the list and audibly monitor events as they
are selected.
