Understanding Display Quantization

What you see in the Score Editor need not necessarily reflect that you have quantized regions in the Arrange Window or Piano Roll editor. The Score Editor’s Display Quantization gives you the ability to have the notes display quantized, specifically for display at variance with how the part sounds with the actual quantization of MIDI events. In Figure 4.1, I have played in a swingy little piano part that sounds just right. However, traditionally swing music is notated as straight 8^ths and that is how most players want to see it. Logic Pro defaults to having Interpretation on to make guesses regarding how the display should look—and it guesses correctly an amazing amount of the time, by the way. Maybe if I uncheck it? Oh, my: Look at Figure 4.2. That will not do at all! Re-check it.
