Logic score

[TonyA]

I’ve used logic for years, usually for scoring musicals, so when I had to write a score for a new song I thought I’d be okay but … I’m in the audio window with piano top line and piano accompaniment all looks good and also in score window, so I think I’ll add 4 more bars at the start. I select the two tracks and move them to make room for the new 4 bars. All the music changes to another key. Ie it does not just move the tracks, but transposes them to something else. I’ve never had this before or I’ve forgotten something simple. Does anyone have an idea. Most grateful if possible

Instead of doing that, insert a Cycle area in the 4 bars where you want to insert time and choose Edit > Cut/Insert Time > Insert Silence at Locators, or press Control + Command + Z.

Thanks for that I’ll give it a try. Has the way I always used to do it been changed? I’ve got old score and if I add bars to them as per moving track their okay?

[David Nahmani]

No, it hasn't changed. I suppose that in this specific project, you may have transposition events in the global tracks?

Sorted! But thanks for your help. It turned out with this song tracks were “undefined” - no idea what happened. I changed it to MIDI and everything was fine. No idea why this song should have these parameters.
