Common Features of Logic Pro Windows
All Logic Pro windows, including the Arrange area, feature a number of common
elements. This consistent approach between windows makes your life easier, as you will
find these elements in the same place throughout the application.
Local Menu Bars
A window’s local menu bar contains buttons that access functions which are specific to
the window. As an example, the Score Editor provides an enharmonic shift function,
which is relevant to notation, but not to Piano Roll editing.
Tool Menus
The tools available in the Tool menus of each window are specific to tasks performed in
the window. As examples: the Arrange area provides tools for different arrangement
tasks, such as cutting or moving regions, and automation editing. The Score Editor
provides tools used for score layout, and tasks such as voice separation.
The left Tool menu assigns the default tool. The right menu assigns a secondary tool. A
further tool menu will appear if the right mouse button is not assigned to other tasks.
