You can only export audio files from GarageBand on IOS, share them to email or to iTunes.
But if you have iCloud, you can share your GarageBand project to iCloud. Then it will be synced to your other devices and you can open it in GarageBand on your Mac.
I have never used Logic, so I am not sure, if Logic will be able to open GarageBand projects and if this will be useful for you. At least opening in GarageBand on your Mac should enable you to print the score of your midi track.

Do you have any further documentation or suggestions regarding this iCloud solution? I don't see how I am able to sync Garageband for iOS projects to iCloud. Thanks for your help. 🙂
I can only tell you for IOS 6 - I hope you have the same version, or it will work in IOS 5.1 the same:
If the cloud-button is not available in GarageBand, check in the "Settings" app, if you have enabled "Documents & Data" in the iCloud settings. You will also need to enable "Documents & Data" in the iCloud settings of the System Preferences on your mac.
Also you can share the GarageBand Project to iTunes, then it will also be synced to your Mac, see thsi section of the GarageBand manual:
If you do not see your song on the shared documents section on your mac, see the following discussion:

I don't like being forced into iCloud and all of it's blanket auto sharing just to be able to use the midi that I created. Thanks for clearing up the functionality. Any suggestions of third party apps that just export midi ?
Thanks ! 😀

I don't know, sorry. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. Let me know, if you find out.
I've found many thrid party apps with this functionality which don't require a sign up for iCloud. I'm looking closer at Beatmaker 2 and FL Studio Mobile HD. Unfortunately I haven't found any free apps which serve up midi export. 😟
