Using Screensets

Every project created in Logic can contain up to 90 screensets. Screensets are window combinations that can be customized by you, and stored to numeric computer keyboard keys/key combinations. Each screenset remembers the type of editor or Arrange windows opened, plus their individual size, position, and zoom settings. This facility accelerates your workflow massively, and allows you to tailor Logic to fit your needs and tastes.

Tip: Screensets are particularly useful if using multiple monitors or wide screen monitors. You can position and size elements anywhere, on any monitor.

To set up a screenset:

1Press any of the numeric keys above your computer keyboard (you can also use a numeric keypad, if using a portable Macintosh).

2Open the desired windows by choosing them from the Windows menu, or by using the appropriate Key Commands.

3Resize, zoom, and reposition your selected windows to meet your needs. All changes you make are remembered automatically.

Resizing and repositioning of windows is as per any Mac OS X application. Zooming the content of individual windows is achieved with the Zoom sliders.

Note: This will only work for keys/screensets 1 to 9.

To set up more than nine screensets:

mPress Control while typing in the desired numeric key combination.

Important: You can not use the number “0” for any of your screenset combinations. The reason is that this numeric key is “hard-wired” to the Play function key command.

To recall a screenset, do one of the following:

mPress the appropriate key or key combination.

Hold Control, and press the appropriate number keys to recall screensets 11 and above.

mChoose the desired screenset from the Screenset menu.

To prevent the current screenset from being altered:

mChoose Screensets > Lock Screenset (or use the Lock/Unlock Current Screenset key command, default: Shift-L).

A bullet appears in front of the screenset number to indicate that it is locked. Reuse the key or menu command to unlock the screenset.
