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 678).
Rests are usually displayed automatically in Logic Pro, and don’t need to be manually
inserted—but can be, if needed—from the Part box (see “
Creating and Inserting Rests ”
on page 704).
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 710).
Step 5: Editing the Whole Score
Once you’ve recorded or inserted all (or most) of the notes and symbols into your
score, and edited individual elements, the next step is to polish the score’s layout.
This would typically include use of tools to reposition staffs, and changing the Score
project settings—to adjust the number of bars per line, set page margins, and more. All
project layout options are discussed in “
Project Settings for Score Display ” on page 776.
Layout work is done in Page view, which displays as many facing pages as possible
(dependent on the size of the Score Editor window and current zoom level).
