Logic was built from the ground up with musical notation as a central part of MIDI sequencing. (In fact, Logic evolved from a 1980s notation application called Notator.) As a result, Logic includes comprehensive notation capabilities for creating and printing parts and scores by entering notes directly into the Score Editor and also by automatically transcribing an existing MIDI recording.

This marriage of notation and MIDI data is integral to Logic. Every note in the score represents a MIDI note event. Logic is often called a notating sequencer because you can access all the powerful arranging and composition functionality of Logic's sequencer within the notation environment of the Score Editor window.

In this lesson you will explore Logic's Score Editor, inputting notation and transcribing existing Audio and MIDI Regions, while notating both the audio and MIDI sequences of the composition "Sintra," which you worked on earlier in this book.
