Restoring Deleted Events

Accidental deletions of one or more events, or a simple change of mind or editing mistake
is an inevitable part of song creation. Fortunately, you can backtrack your edits easily in
Logic Express. You also have the option of simply re-creating an event with the Pencil
tool.

To undo the last event editing step or deletion

µ

Choose Edit > Undo from the main menu (or use the corresponding key command, default
assignment: Command-Z) immediately after making the error.

To undo or redo multiple steps

1

Choose Edit > Undo History.

This opens the Undo History window. The most recent editing step (at the bottom of the
list) is highlighted.

2

Click any entry to undo or redo all steps between the clicked and highlighted entries.

All steps are animated during this process.

Important:

A Redo list is not displayed until an Undo operation has been performed.

The Redo list appears below the Undo items. The first item that can be redone is indicated
by gray text.

To undo or redo an isolated step

1

Command-click the step.

A warning dialog opens.

2

Click Apply to undo or redo the step. Click Cancel to abort the step.
