Thanks for staying with this. Aside from the above bugs: • Slow Performance. The sluggishness of selecting-tracks in the Arrange (Main) Window and/or other editing-operations. **I've found this to be linked the "Staff Style Window" being open. Closing the window and normal performance returns. 10.4 didn't seem to complain about this. ––––––––––––––– • Environment Window – Templates and Usage. A song using a previous Vienna Ensemble Pro (VEP) Environment Window template out to a VEP slave, the first note of a sequence would require at least a 1/4 note pre-roll or it was missed. In cycle-mode, it would randomly play notes of the sequence and only about half of them. These VEP templates from their site used the multi-port scheme: Multi-instrument >Transformer> Summing objects. Their settings done in their own Transform Windows. • I should also note that I began getting MIDI-loops and core MIDI problems which I had not in 10.4 with the VEP setup. **I started with a clean 10.7.1 song and just used the multi-Instrument MIDI object cabled to a Instrument (no transformer, summing) with VEP inserted. No problems in use – over a day working with that. Only issue, complete templates with VEP may need to be replaced. –––––––––––––––– • Incorrect Bar Selection. Cycle length in the score-editor is incorrect – seems to continue to count in 4|4 despite being in 3|4 . Example: 8 bars of 3/4 reads 6 bars. Main and Piano Roll reads correctly – 8 bars. SMPTE times and lengths are correct in all. --------------------- • Wish list: Option for step-editor -or- step-sequencer in the edit-tab.

Avre: I sent them two but I always feel like I'm talking to myself when posting to Apple. Like the rest of the world, anything other than four-word text doesn't get read. I don't even look forward to working in Logic anymore. Pro Tools HDX 21.7.0 works flawless especially with VEP. I've hesitated upgrading a 2013 Trash Can that's still 10.12.6 Sierra and glad I didn't. It is leaps and bounds faster than Logic 10.7 Big Sur on the second 6,1.

Half Speed, Double Speed also blind in values. I'd gladly pay for updates if they would stop breaking things that have worked since 1991 in Notator-Logic. 10.7 is a dog with just one simple MIDI instrument up and no audio tracks.

No – it was in the main Edit Menu in 10.4. It would open as a "Character Viewer" as it still does in Pages, Numbers. Safari or any other Big Sur app. Current Logic User's Guide finds zero-instances of "emoji". I see the aesthetic flats, dbl flats in the score-editor Part-Box and may have over-looked them in 10.4. I'm need to remain continuity between text and score documents as I use a lot of math. One thought, it may have caused trouble with XML exports to Windows although I thought this was universal-code. Thanks David!

Moving from 10.4 to 10.7,(11.5.2) and emoji special-characters are now missing. Was this moved or dropped all together? They can be copied from another app however that is very tedious as I use upper-lower case numerics, the esthetic "flat" and "sharps", etc. Additional ones made for great-analysis tools. Thanks for any help! -R

Is there a new command/preference setting for the perennial 'left-click / hold" that displayed the following: – Arrange Window: Left-click on a sequence/region -length-. Only displays bar location, track name and # ––Previous version always gave length info –Various editors: Drawing in event only displays location. ––Previous version always gave event info ( velocity or cc# ) They would display in pop-up --and-- the particular editor's header area. Many thanks in advance! -R

Eric, You rocked it ! Problem solved. If I might add to the file... -"Position" is *region* dependent as other similar functions (length of the region containing the selected notes) , not the actual song/bar position. Thanks again, -R

Didn't see this in any of the dicussions.....I've the same problem that started when I --Upgraded the OS. Purchased a MPB/ Logic 9.16 in Dec. 2011. Plenty of CPU power/ especially for NI VI's. I updated the OS (checked all other updates) and suddenly just one instance of Reaktor/Prism or Spark caused CPU overloads (no audio tracks..just a few VI's). I searched several Apple forums/threads and OSX's power management allows the CPU to 'runaway' and use 600% of the processor, forcing you to 'quit' out of the current task and wait for the processor to cool down (a 'feature' that is supposed to extend the processor's life) . There are dozens of threads and complaints about this , with moderators/experts status contributors recommending "Resetting the Power Management System". One post recommend removing the power management .kxt file(its buried in the library, each model has its own profile). Though I' don't ever recommend messing with the OS, I was beyond frustration. This allowed for extended periods of use (more like a band-aid), but not a solution. ---Old school solution finally worked! … Opened up the computer and blew out the dust on the cooling fins with compressed air. Good as new! These CPU's run hot and cost/design doesn't seem to allow any wiggle room regrading thermal issues. I need to do this every 2-3 months as I have a dusty environment. Only saw one posting on this recommendation. I've seen all sorts of wacky solutions on YouTube from unplugging an external Thunderbolt monitor, headphones, putting the computer to sleep. --Run your Activity Monitor in the background next time- Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor to see if the "kernel task" is bogging down the system. I also encountered this when watching a streamed video off Netflix, audio/video out of sync, jittery. Checked the Activity Monitor, same issue. See attached screenshot Attached, the dusty cooling fins and the system idle (No apps running). 2014 and we still have to do workarounds...

Eric, Thanks for checking into this. -I tried the Transform/Note Length/Scale, and it seemed to be redundant of the fixed/mult/div functions. -The gate function would mean I would need to snip every attack and adjust! -I attached a screen shot of the function in ProTools and wonder if you know this equivalent in Logic. The top track are all fixed 1/8 note lengths, the 'change duration' function 50%~150% in the lower track. It would be great if we got a streamlined/redesigned Transform Window. Hasn't changed really since the Creator/Notator days. Thanks, Ray

I've gone through all of the Transform Windows note length options though none seem to be able to smoothy (not randomly) increase/decrease note lengths. ProTools has a simple "increase by percentage example" 75 %~125% over a selection of notes. Is there a way to do this... Thanks-R
