  1. I hate to admit it, but I've switched to Sibelius for score editing. I've done about a dozen projects ranging from piano to full orchestral score and it was, *gasp*, enjoyable to do. There is an art to printing scores and Sibelius makes it easy. (You know, mostly.) I do all my composing in Logic Pro then do a MIDI export. Crude? Yeah, but I love everything else about Logic Pro and I've really found a good editing flow. I still have the Score Editor open, but now it's just a quick reference to the music.
  2. And is there any way to set the default vertical position for a new text style?
  3. That works A LOT better! Thanks! There's still a little fudging that needs to be done if the notes are below the staff and descending, but I think I can live with that. What font do you use?
  4. Hi volovicg! Thanks for replying. Let's start with my biggest beef: articulations. Staccato and legato marks work exactly as they should. Stem down -> articulation above the note head. Stem up -> articulation below the note head. Accent marks always appear above the note head. This is a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for your time!
  5. I must be missing something... I'm working on an orchestral piece that's ~300 measures long with 18 instruments. Here are my beefs: - Articulations: Above the note? Below the note? Staccato markings are placed correctly, accents are not. The solution of 'manually' adding them by dragging the articulation using the command key is a total joke. I might as well hand-write my score. - More Articulations: Set a note to staccato in the piano roll and it MIGHT show up in the score. Seems to be instrument dependent. - Slurs: Manually draw them? Seriously? - Dynamic marks: Manually have to position them? Really? - Score-wide markings: Rehearsal letters that propagate to each part - how?!? - Score formatting: Change something, like add an articulation, and the rest of the score shifts pages. Reminds me of adding an image to Microsoft Word and all of your text shifting to the left and getting 4 pages added. Those are my main beefs at the moment. I haven't even really begun to work on the individual parts, this is all in the conductor's score. What am I missing? All of this manual entry is driving me insane! Is this just how it has to be done? END RANT
  6. Thanks! I have a feeling that dragging and holding the Option key is the solution to many default problems...
  7. I have stem-up notes marked staccato that I also want accented. Is there a way to have an accent appear below a stem-up note? Thanks!
  8. Gotcha. Change the key and use staff styles and region settings to make everything jive. This is an interesting edge case. Or bottom of the circle of 5ths case. For Horns in F this shows up when the key is B Major. Horns will be in F# Major. In Cb Major the Horns are in Gb Major. That makes sense to my music theory brain. Thanks for your help!
  9. I know see a problem in your gif example. Instrument 3 is switching from C#->Db, not F#->Gb. My fault in the original post saying 5 flats instead of 6. Minimizing accidentals from F#->Gb wouldn't make a change because they have the same number of sharps and flats (6 and 6) Been digging through every setting to no avail.
  10. Another update: Tried on 2 other machines, 2010 iMac, 2012 Macbook Pro, both running Logic Pro 10.4.1. Same result on both: No F#->Gb Main machine is a 2014 Mac Mini. :-/
  11. -3 puts it to Db (I do get the 'magic' flip between C#/Db when checking 'Minimize transposed accidentals' though)
  12. Thanks for the quick reply! I am not getting that magic key signature flip Started a new empty project. Added two instruments. Set the second to 'Trumpet in Bb'. Switched the key to E Major. No change. System and Logic Pro up-to-date.
  13. Hello! I have a piece in E Major that has a Bb Clarinet part. The key signature for the Clarinet is F# Major with 6 sharps. Is there any way to make the Clarinet's key signature Gb Major with 5 flats instead? Thanks!
