nickbaba Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi all - I'm scratching my head here. I can't draw in a note length longer than 999 bars in my Piano Roll, and I don't know why...? I'm writing a 1 hr piece and need to have long single drone notes. In Logic 9 I could simply click and drag the note duration to whatever length I wanted...? My song length is set to 2,049 bars, so it's not too short. Advanced Tools are switched on, for what its worth. I have tried dragging the note length in Piano Roll and also writing it manually in the Event List, but even the list snaps the value back to a max of 999 bars every time. Is there an option I need to disable somewhere (eg max note length)? I can't find anything like that. Thank you, nickbaba Logic X 10.3.2. - Sierra 10.12.6 - Mac Pro 3.5 GHz 6-Core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 appears to be a bug.... If you change the time signature to 1/4 time you can get to 4000 bars.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickbaba Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks... yes I did consider changing tempo or time signature as a work-around but wanted to check if this was just happening for me or for everyone. So, its a bug? mmm OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zplane Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If you know how long your piece is going to be in minutes, then you could use a tempo to time calculator like this one, https://toolstud.io/music/bpm.php?bpm=90&bpm_unit=4%2F4&measures=999 to calculate the tempo that will get you to the length of time you want. I put in 999 measures at a tempo of 90 bpm in 4/4 time (which comes out to be 44 minutes in length). The total time length is down the bottom of the page.

nickbaba Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks, that's a good idea. I went back and checked Logic 9 and it's the same... seems 999 bars is the length limit for a single note in Logic. The work around is to adjust tempo: 66bpm in 4/4 makes a 999 bar note 1hr long.
