Oops... I thought you were talking audio. Sorry. Merging MIDI in Cycle
recording is essential! Look up to the left and open the menu
"Settings/Recording". In that window you can set your preferences for
how Logic will deal with overlapping MIDI recordings. I personally
like it best to "Merge only in Cycle record".

Oh, I thought I just told you? ;-)


> Waht?? you dont zoom???

Noop. Or rather, I zoom once and then I lock that zoom level to a new
screen set, like at key "2" if I ususally work in screen set "1". So I
just hit the 1 and 2 keys instead of bothering with the tedious zoom
function. It's just because work so much in Logic and have to stay
sane... ;-)

Pressing down "cmd" calls up Secondary Tool. This is the tool you
chose in the little box and drop-down menu at the upper right corner
of any window (arrange, piano roll, score etc....) After you have
chosen your preferred Secondary Tool you should lock the screen set
for Logic to remember that setting. (shift L, or top menu with mouse).
You may have different tools pre configured as your Secondary Tool of
choice for different work spaces to make it easier as you work.

You may also use the right mouse button to drop down a context menu
with the tools available for the window you are working in. If you
want that you go to "Preferences/General/Editing" and chose what to
drop down under the right mouse button. One useful setting there is
"Assignable to a tool", because then you get three quick access tools
when working in the windows.

Tool 1: Simply press down left mouse button (pointer tool, maybe?)
Tool 2: Pen tool
Tool 3: Scissors tool

...or just change them three tools and lock the screen set for
whatever the working situation is.

Some people believe that is the purpose of the application.

Nighty nighty...
