Catch, Link, and Hierarchy Buttons Most windows contains Catch, Link, and Hierarchy buttons. These are used to tie or associate Logic Express windows, and can aid in navigating through different levels of your project structure. For example, if you click a region in the Arrange area, the contents of a linked window (the Piano Roll Editor, for example) update immediately to show the events within the region. Hierarchy button Link button Catch button Scroll Bars Vertical and horizontal scroll bars are shown at the right and bottom edges of the window. These allow you to view sections that fall outside the visible display area. Zoom Sliders Vertical and horizontal sliders are shown at the bottom-right corner of the window. These allow you to horizontally or vertically resize the contents of the window, giving you a closer or more distant view of data. Bar Ruler All linear editing windows feature a Bar ruler at the top. The position of regions and events within a project are aligned with Bar ruler positions. The Bar ruler displays markers and locators, and reflects time signature changes. It also indicates three important operational modes-solo, recording, or synchronized. 72 Chapter 3 Overview of the Logic Express Interface

Catch, Link, and Hierarchy Buttons

Most windows contains Catch, Link, and Hierarchy buttons. These are used to tie or

associate Logic Express windows, and can aid in navigating through different levels of

your project structure. For example, if you click a region in the Arrange area, the contents

of a linked window (the Piano Roll Editor, for example) update immediately to show the

events within the region.

Link button

Scroll Bars

Vertical and horizontal scroll bars are shown at the right and bottom edges of the window.

These allow you to view sections that fall outside the visible display area.

Zoom Sliders

Vertical and horizontal sliders are shown at the bottom-right corner of the window. These

allow you to horizontally or vertically resize the contents of the window, giving you a

closer or more distant view of data.

Bar Ruler

All linear editing windows feature a Bar ruler at the top. The position of regions and events

within a project are aligned with Bar ruler positions. The Bar ruler displays markers and

locators, and reflects time signature changes. It also indicates three important operational

modes—solo, recording, or synchronized.
