Overview of score layout in Logic Pro for Mac

Once you’ve added notes and symbols to your score, and edited individual staffs, the next step is to refine the overall score layout. This process typically involves repositioning staffs, as well as adjusting the number of bars per line, setting page margins, and changing other Score project settings.

When editing the score layout, it’s recommended that you work in Page view, which displays as many facing score pages as possible, depending on the size of the Score Editor window and current zoom level.

You can choose different page display options that are useful for various printing or layout tasks in Page view. The page display options include:

• Show Margins: Displays page margins onscreen. These are not printed.

• Show Pages in Pairs: Shows facing pages of the score. This setting depends on the zoom settings and Scale region parameter.

• Show Page Rulers: Displays horizontal and vertical rulers that make precise layout tasks easier.

You should use Linear Score view for editing, as screen redraws are much faster, especially on slower computers.
