Attach Symbol: Left Hand — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Attach Symbol: Left Hand

Decidedly frustrating. I cannot find anything that indicates which symbol will be attached to a score when using this command. There is no description of what all of the symbols in the part boxes mean. Executing this command with a note selected in a score shows no visible change.

I have watched tutorial videos, read manuals. No help. Can’t find them.

Object move up ⌥↑ — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Object move up    ⌥↑

Position an object in the MIDI Environment using fine controls. Position changes by one pixel (it used to be a much bigger and visible thing). Use the option-key and the arrow keys.

Bygone days for most users of Logic Pro.

Go to Marker Number 12 𝍖⌃2 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Go to Marker Number 12 𝍖⌃2

Move the playhead to marker number 12. The ‘Go to Marker’ keyboard commands are assigned to the keypad on the extended keyboards. I rarely jump to a specific marker, preferring to move forward and backward between them.

I try to create markers that have a definite length so I can set the locators and enable cycle for the current marker. I use the Marquee tool to select an area followed by commands to create the marker and cycle. Once that is done I can step through the marked locations in the project and work on the specific area.

The marker numbers in these commands refer to the (serial) order of all markers in the project. By default, when you create a marker, the name shows the marker number.

Remove Empty Insert Slots — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Remove Empty Insert Slots

Removes blank/empty insert slots from a channel. Sometimes we create gaps by removing an insert, or by skipping an insert slot before opening. This command squeezes all of the inserts together leaving no empty slots in between.

Decrement Loop End for Row ⌥⌘- — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Decrement Loop End for Row ⌥⌘-

Shorten the length of the loop. This command will wait for me to dive in to step sequencing again.

Logic Pro Step Sequencer overview — Apple Support

Using edit modes, you can control different attributes of the note or event triggered by a step. Some edit modes apply to only one row type, while others are common to both types. For note rows, you can change the velocity, pitch, gate time, number of note repetitions in a step, and other attributes. For automation rows, you can change the value of the automated parameter. Edit modes common to both row types include skipping and tying steps, changing the loop start and end point, and changing the step rate
