Working With Notation

Step 3:

Editing Note Events

Even with all of the display options discussed above, you may need to adjust the
appearance of some notes. This is done with the functions in the Note Attributes menu.
These commands allow you to adjust individual note events, allowing enharmonic
shifts, accidentals, ties, beaming, and much more.

This facility can also be used on multiple selected notes, which is useful on those rare
occasions when the display settings don’t deliver the desired results.

Step 4:

Inputting Events, Symbols, and Text

Few scores consist solely of note (and rest) events.

The Part box contains a number of symbols (pedal markings, slurs, and so on) that can
be inserted into the score by dragging them into position with the mouse. The Part box
also contains all types of note events, clefs, bar line markers, and more. Again, these
can easily be added by drag and dropping (see “

Working With the Part Box

” on

page 708).

Rests are usually displayed automatically in Logic Express, and don’t need to be
manually inserted—but can be, if needed—from the Part box (see “

Creating and

Inserting Rests

” on page 735).

The entry of lyrics, title, and other text elements is performed from the Part box, or with
the Text tool (see “

Working With Text

” on page 742).
