Hi Simon, > Is text entry the only way to enter chords in the Logic Studio > score editor, or are there other ways, I don't do this often, but it is my favorite way when I do need to do it: Create a new track in the arrange Window with a piano sound (or guitar would work) and play in a simple part with all the chords in root positions right on the downbeat. Use inversions if that is what you want to appear on the final chord chart. Then open the Global Tracks and view the Chords section. They should appear correctly. You can double click and fix individual chords if there were any mistakes in the way logic interpreted your playing. Then go into the Score Window and call up the menu command (right at the top of one of the local Score menus - can't remember which at the moment) that will automatically place all the chords from the Global chord track into the score. That's it. You can use the "select all equal" command to globally align them as you want. I have done this many times and have loved this feature since L7.2. The trick is to play the chords in simply and don't use any unusual voicings or extensions; just use what's needed to generate the chord symbol you want. If you want it to say C7 for a bar, play C E G and Bb on the downbeat; nothing more, etc. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.elikrantzberg.com http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com
