I figured it out. In order for the key switches to appear in Smart Control, you must first choose "Studio Strings/patch" under "Articulation Set" in the track inspector. Problem solved.

I'm trying to do this, but the keyswitches tab isn't appearing on the Smart Controls panel. Just the Studio Strings controls tab. Why might this be?

Well, I tried copying my big project to a Test title and deleted the superfluous data. So of course now I can't seem to recreate it for sending. I think I've found a work around, so for now I'll chalk it up to some weird gremlin anomaly. I'll post and send if it happens again! Thanks.

Sure. Give me a few and I'll send it......

I'm using two different Logic Drummers on two different tracks. On Drummer A, I'm ending with a fill I really like. I clicked the lock on the fill knob. Now, when I change the length of a drummer region on Drummer B's track, the fill knob for Drummer A unlocks and the fill changes to a different fill. Two different drummers - two different tracks and regions. Why is one affecting the behavior of the other. I'm being very careful to not have more than more track or region selected when I change the length of Drummer B's region. Strangely, the undo function doesn't undo this change. Only recourse is to quit Logic without saving and reload. Any thoughts?

Well, I have to take that back. The multi-rest appears even when the rest is hidden in the score style.

Also, keep in mind that when you create or modify a score style, you can choose to "show" or "hide" the rests. You could create a "rest-less" score style and switch to it if you didn't want the rest to show.

It's not for recording. It's primarily for rehearsal purpose, which is why I'll probably just edit audio later. It's an opera composed by one person, orchestrated by another, copy work done by still another, and it's 100 minutes long. So changing the bar numbers on the score isn't an option. Lol - I'm the low man on this food chain.

Back and forth work. Right now, my solution will probably be to not repeat until all the work is approved, then either edit the midi or audio to include the repeats. It would be very cool if there were a new line in the global tracks that could be alternate bar numbers. Wherever you write in a new bar number, all the following numbers would be sequential. I would find that more useful than "arrangement" which to me seems redundant with markers.

just simple repeats.

That would certainly be a solution. I don't know if there's a way to do that. I haven't found a way. If you come across something, let me know!

I used to be pretty good at working in some environment macros, but this sounds pretty far beyond me! It would be a pretty cool function is someone could figure it out. Thanks David.

Thanks David. I didn't think it was - but was hoping there was some cryptic function I'd never come across.

I'm doing a mockup of a large score - several hundred bars. The composer has include a few 8 bar sections that "repeat" on the score. I don't want to repeat the actual section in my Logic timeline because that will mess up my bar numbers. Is there any way to program a section of bars to repeat once as the session plays through without it adding extra bars to the overall piece?

Not necessarily. The playback instrument resides in the "set", which can contain multiple patches. The playback would only cut off if you switched to a different set.
