In Logic Key Signature is a global setting. If I change in on one track in the score editor it changes it for all tracks.
In Sibelius I can have transposing instruments with different key signatures. Logic can’t do this.
Much modern music is multi-tonal.
Here is a simple example. I am reading the excellent book “Scoring the Screen” by Andy Hill. There is a short extract from Stravinsky’s “L'histoire du soldat”. It has lower parts in G and higher parts in A. It would be nice if I could have some tracks in G and some in A instead of having a plethora of incidental sharps or flats. It was composed in 1918. So, it seems Logic is only 100 years behind the curve!
I know I can have some tracks or regions transposed but that just makes it more complicated and doesn’t solve the dilemma of how to make the score editor look readable.
Does anyone have any suggestions or work-arounds please?
