  1. My assumption is that you want to stay on Monterey. Mastering Assistant premiered with Logic 10.8, and that requires Ventura 13.5 or higher. I don’t think Logic 10.8.x is possible on Monterey.
  2. In the following movie, the Score format is the common 16/24 setting. The underlying notes on the third beat are thirty-seconds. The key signature (unseen) is E major. Double-clicking on the tuplet marking ("3") will open a window in which you can reset the note durations per beat. Yes, it is odd that one clicks on a tuplet to make thirty-second notes. It's somewhat of a hidden feature. (Septuplets are also done this way.) If the tuplets do not appear automatically, they can be dragged onto the beginning of the third beat from the Parts Box, and if the actual notes (observable in Piano Roll) are metrically correct, you should be able to coax this printout. Good on you for forging ahead with Logic Score after a more dedicated engraving program. If you struggle with this, you might try excising the bar in question and posting it. Someone here should help.
  3. With Ventura 13.6 in Finder, Control + Shift + arrow keys select objects on my desktop. You could see if your OS is stopping the commands from getting through to Logic. ... But, I still can assign Control + Shift + arrow keys in Logic.
  4. To see note labels in Piano Roll, the track object needs to be a Mapped Instrument. These are found in Environment. If you double-click on a Mapped instrument in Environment, you'll see where to enter the note labels. As @Dr.Socrates says, the first picture has a non-drum instrument selected in Tracks. But it's the Mapped instrument in Environment assigned to a track that actually causes labels to be seen. So any instrument -- not just drums -- can be mapped with labels. Some people use them in keyswitched orchestral patches as reminders of what note triggers what articulation.
  5. As a diagnostic, you could check Settings > General > Start Up Action. Options there include "Select a Template" and "Create New Project Using Default Template." This does not account for the inconsistency you describe, but it does remind us that Logic's opening behavior is based a preference, hence the Preferences file.
  6. For those deeply invested in Vienna Symphonic Library, it's as big a deal as it gets... though I see no mention of this issue yet on their forum. The irony is, for years VSL's previous "eLicenser" was much-maligned, and the wholesale shift to iLok required a complete re-download of all libraries. But its very "bigness" makes me think the fix will come expeditiously. Yes, I am too. That heinous experience with the Sonoma graphics bug in Logic 10.8 with a Mac Intel has left me in deep avoidance mode. Mark Twain: "“If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won't sit on a hot stove again. That cat won't sit on a cold stove either." That might be said for OS versions, long after the bugs have been fixed.
  7. In Logic, it's called "Invert Selection." The default key command is Shift-I. Just got it in under the wire. 😄 Thanks David.
  8. I think this is it. Further proof of the regularity of the request.
  9. You got it. 👍 Try clicking on your name, then click "View My Activity." I'm not sure how far back it goes, though.
  10. I will print parts out separately using the track alternative method mentioned above. Applied to the emerging example here, I'd open a track alternative, change the overall key to Gb, duplicate the region and touch up the part as needed, print the part only in Score, then return Logic to the concert key and the initial track alternative. That leaves me with: 1. conductor's score in concert key E 2. EITHER the offending sharps in transposed Score styles OR just keep them in a non-transposing concert key for the conductor's score 3. Parts to the actual players with the correct flats, having printed them out separately. Greg's way addresses the outlier, but all other instruments must be "un-transposed" from the pseudo-key we've entered in Logic. My way in the concert key yields to the majority of instruments, but then I'm left with a conductor's score that's either in C or has those irksome six sharps on the page for a saxophone -- which would be eye-catching, and not in a good way. If I was submitting a score for a professional review, I'd do it Greg's way. In the end, we are left with a real-world request for a feature that alters flat/sharp print out on a per staff basis. Wouldn't it be great to have this checkbox in the Score Style window? This same question will be predictably re-appear at LPH. Good to discuss though -- good to understand what's under the hood.
  11. Yes. If you open a completely new Logic file (not a template), there is a default Score Style marked "Baritone Sax." It transposes the written pitch up 21 steps (an octave plus a major 6). If the Logic song is set to the key of Gb, the Baritone Sax score style will read in Eb (three flats). A Bb trumpet will read in four flats. (Ab being one step higher than Gb). The Tenor Sax will also display in Ab (though it will sound an octave and a whole step lower.) The only possible trouble you may face is a trumpet in A. If Logic is set to the key of Gb, the Trumpet in A Score Style per Logic's default file will transpose to a key signature of three sharps. The alternative is B double flat, a theoretical scale with two double flats. Let us give communal applause to Logic for not going there. Threads like this remind me why I often write in C Score and deal with parts separately. 😀
  12. The concert key of the song is no different. Strictly speaking, Logic doesn't know what key any song is in, as Greg's second example shows. The assigned key signature (just like transposed Score Styles) affect only the display. @volovicg is coaxing Logic to give you a six flat display for one instrument and then adjusting all other instruments accordingly. I know this sounds nutty, but we're still in E. The playback is unaltered, as can be verified by Piano Roll and by ear. I empathize with your request: "Hey Logic, just turn these six sharps into six flats and stop with all the rigamarole!" It's a worthy feature request.
  13. I’m linking you to this thread on the chance that you’re running an Intel Mac (consider including your system description in your signature). If this is what you’re experiencing, there is no fix for it currently. If you have a silicon Mac, it’s probably not this particular bug.
  14. You are correct. This option changes all selected notes. Unfortunately, it will not change the key signature. It will display the six sharps of F# as the key and insert an accidental in every (selected) note (excepting B, I guess). In the words of Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "Our situation has not improved." The short answer: Logic has no function for this. From there, duct tape and display hijinks ensue. This question does come up now and then. @volovicg may have answered one recently. If the only goal is to print out a part in Gb for the player, here's a highly inelegant way: Track > Show Track Alternatives. Duplicate the region to a track alternative. Set the key of the whole song to Gb. Transpose the region +2 in the Region Inspector. (Now there's no need for a transposed Score Style. You can use Treble.) Print that to the player's part. You'll have a Gb key signature on the page, the print-out will correctly transpose up two steps... and then don't listen to the playback because it'll sound really off. I cannot figure out how to effect this kind of transposition on a conductor's score though. That would need a return to the concert key, most likely. I suggest a Track Alternative so that you can open the modified region, print it out, and then go back to the regular, non-transposed region for further work. Again, Greg may have a better way. Found it.
  15. Main> View> Zoom Focused Track The selected track has its own zoom setting. It's possible you're getting this because you've enabled that feature and not because it's a summing stack. Command Z (the default KC) will toggle this feature. Once zoomed, you can set the track height independently of unselected tracks. For example, all other tracks per David's suggestion can be set to 0, and the zoomed track can be set to 10. If it *is* because it's a summing stack, then I could not explain it. A very helpful feature: cursor to a dividing line between two tracks, get the track height symbol, then SHIFT-click. That resets all track heights to zero.
