Apple Logic Express 9 - Manual (Page 705)

To view events outside the display area
Do one of the following:
µ
Use the event type buttons to filter the list, thus reducing the number of displayed events.
µ
Drag the scroll bar to the right of the list area.
µ
Choose View > Scroll to Selection (or use the corresponding key command).
Note: When a marquee selection is active, using this key command moves the visible
section of the edit window to mirror the marquee selection.
Using the Shortcut Menu
Many selection, editing, and other commands can be accessed by right-clicking anywhere
in the Event List. Make use of this technique 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 the Logic Express > Preferences > General > Editing
pane.
Selecting and Creating Events
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. Full details on all selection techniques
are discussed in
Using Selection Techniques .
Tip: When selecting events with the Pointer, you should click the event name in the
Status column, to avoid any unintentional parameter alterations.
To select an event, and navigate the list, with the arrow keys
µ
Press the Left Arrow key to select the previous event, or the Right Arrow key to select the
next event. Hold down the respective arrow key to scroll through the list.
To select multiple events with the arrow keys
µ
Hold Shift and press the Left or Right Arrow key. Keep the arrow key held down to select
multiple events (with Shift held).
Note: If the MIDI Out button is turned on (it is 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.
Refining Event Selection
Using the event type buttons to filter the list of displayed events makes selection faster
and easier.
