In play and record mode I'm now only getting a metronome click if there's either MIDI data coming in, or MIDI data already exists on the track. Use case Create a project from the Orchestra default template that comes with Logic Set metronome to on with both play and record I hear nothing in the lead in bar, or on the track, until I start hitting some keys Anybody else seeing this?

I've been running experiments with having a negative first bar, which is widely reported to have issues, one mention being here. So far I'm not seeing anything with the latest Logic. Is this fixed? What experiments should I run to test if this is a problem or not?

Anybody else experience this? Select MIDI In overwrite mode in the score by double clicking it, the icon changes to a hollow icon Select a note, play a different note which should change the original to the new pitch and velocity. Except for me, sometimes this doesn't for unknown reasons. It seems that perhaps it works for a newly created project, but after some time it stops working, and I get no overwrite. It might be related to getting a MIDI timeout, which happens on occasion. At least I noticed after it stopped working once I had recently gotten a timeout.

Thanks for the help skijumptoes - I did do a bunch of searches and consulted my books but wasn't able to find that information out, probably because "Quantize" is used in so many contexts in Logic. I half guessed the first was duple and second triple, but was confused about the exact values. Reading the doc I take this to mean that the reason the tuple values increase is because they must be divisions of the previous duple. That is, it wouldn't make sense to divide on a quarter triple (3) when you're duple minimum is eighth (12). For example, 8,3 doesn't make so much sense because you have a higher duple resolution (8) than you do for your tuple (3, e.g. quarter note).

IT"S NOT RESPECTFUL TO SHOUT ON THE INTERNET, especially when you are asking for help from people for free. That was my only point that you seemed to have missed, and don't go telling me about the purposes of the forum when that wasn't at all what I was saying. Otherwise I'm done with this thread.

Since you mention it, yes the terminal is the most powerful invention in the history of OS interfaces :) Look I get what you're saying, I for one am thankful for the Environment, because elsewhere in macOS there are places where you are stuck because of the UI. For example; audio interfaces. Ever wanted to have a shortcut or script change the system audio device selection for you? Only way to do it is via a hacky, fragile AppleScript approach that doesn't work well. What about automatically cabeling up the network MIDI connections? Again manually is the most reliable way. So sure they could make this one particular aspect easier and maybe they should, but there are a million other things they could make easier. And Sokoi please STOP SHOUTING, if you can't handle Logic then maybe you'd be better served elsewhere.

I'm sorely confused by the Display Quantization (score) numbering scheme, what do the two numbers represent? Probably simple and I'm just not getting it. OK first number is obviously quarter Q, eighth, sixteenth, etc, but the second? Triplet division? But if so then why would an eighth note triplet be represented as a 6 (8,6) when there's three of them?

Enormous power comes with having access to the environment, you can do pretty much anything you want. To me that's inspires creativity; the DAW isn't making me take specific paths.

Update: I found a great thread earlier where volovicg spells it out /viewtopic.php?t=132963

Thanks volovicg, that's helpful. First I can see that MIDI Overwrite mode is working, where it doesn't on mine. Must be a setting? I'm searching around for what that can be. Second, I'm trying to reproduce what you did but I could use a bit more handholding. I drop two eighth rests (r8) then a g eighth (g8) Drop a ..n... tuple on that - works correctly Create the following Drop a ..n.. on top of that and get this This makes sense, I told it to make an 8th note tuple, so it converted the sixteenth to a eighth but it's not what I want Begging the question how did you create that dotted tuple?

Thanks so much, this really helps. For the dotted example it’s exactly as you show but with the values halved, i.e. dotted eighth, sixteenth & eighth in a triplet. I can post a screenshot later*, but if this is clear or your example is fine to get me started. On midi in overwrite it just doesn’t work for me. Select a note and hit a MIDI note in overwrite mode, no change. * here you go

Hi, I'm a hopeless printed music musician and have to work with the score interface, not MIDI/Piano Roll which isn't music to me. I also don't like playing in a line to a click (never liked metronomes but just live musicians and/or a conductor). So I'm OK with offline step editing. I also use the Event Editor. My difficulty is getting the notated rhythms correct. It has to be spot on, I will print music out later for musicians (and I require it anyhow for myself). Separately I'll go in and humanize the lines. Some questions How to change the rhythmic value of a note? You can lengthen/shorten in the score but that changes the MIDI performance data, not the notated value. The only way I see to alter existing notes is via the ..n.. tuplet operation Specifically - how to just 'dot' a note? I'm trying to get the first note in a triplet dotted, and it's opaque to me. I'd like a way to point at a note and tell it to turn into whatever printed rhythm I want. What exactly is the Length inspector? It's a string like "0 0 0 232" (length/info) Double clicking the MIDI IN button changes the mode of the button and the icon, but playing a new note value does not override the old, is this working in the latest Logic? Any other suggestions on how to most easily enter lines via the score interface? Thanks so much!
