Copy selected steps
In Logic Pro, press and hold Option and Shift, then drag the selected steps to the new
position and lane.
As you drag, a help tag displays the position, event type, and value (if applicable).
Copy and move steps with the Clipboard
In Logic Pro, use the Clipboard to copy and move steps (events):
To copy events to the Clipboard: Choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).
To move events to the Clipboard: Choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X).
To paste the events at the current playhead position, inclusive of their original
values: Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
You can also perform advanced Copy and Move operations in the Step Editor. These
allow you to directly swap steps, or to merge a group of events from one section of
a region to the same, or another, region. For more information on common editing
functions, see Copy notes in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro.
Protect the position of steps in Logic Pro
There are times when you want to protect certain steps from being moved. For example,
several note events may be used to trigger footstep samples that match an actor walking
down a corridor in a video soundtrack. You have already created the music for this scene,
but have been asked to increase the tempo to match several cuts of different camera
angles in the corridor. Any change to the project tempo moves the events, resulting in
out-of-sync footstep samples. To circumvent this problem, Logic Pro has a feature that
preserves the absolute time position of events.
The protect and unprotect functions are available only when Show Advanced Tools is
selected in the Advanced preferences pane.
Protect the position of one or more selected steps
In Logic Pro, choose Functions > Lock SMPTE Position (or use the corresponding key
command). Events that fall at a particular absolute time position—1hour, 3minutes,
15seconds, 12frames, for example—remain at this position when tempo changes are
made.
Unprotect the position of one or more selected steps
In Logic Pro, choose Functions > Unlock SMPTE Position (or use the corresponding key
command).
