Question

How do you set up Logic Pro 9 for transposing instruments?

Is it possible to set up Logic to recognise transposing instruments? In other words, if I'm playing a Bb trumpet part in C, the score would display the part transposed one tone higher & display the correct key signature, but it would still sound in C. The orchestral template does this for you, but I prefer to work from scratch.

Hi

You can do this on a region by region basis by selecting the appropriate Staff Style in the Score Inspector.

If you want to apply a particular Staff Style to a particular track automatically as you record, you can adjust the Style parameter at the bottom of the Track Parameter Box.

Search for "Knowing the Predefined Staff Styles" in the Logic Help menu.
