Logic Pro 7: Folder content keeps playing outside of folder

The content of a folder keeps playing if it exceeds the length of the folder.

When shortening a folder, the content's playback will not be cut at the folder's end. In a folder, a MIDI note or an audio file will be played in whole, even if it exceeds the folder length. This only affects MIDI notes or audio files that start within the folder limits.

There are two workarounds, cutting the content at the folder's end or cutting the folder.

Workaround 1: Cut the content at the folder's end

1. Select the folder.
2. From the local menu, choose Region > Set Locators by Region.
3. Double-click the folder to open it.
4. Select all regions.
5. From the local menu, choose Region > Split/Demix > Split Regions by Locators.

Note: When splitting MIDI regions, overlapping notes will be shortened or split destructively. If you re-extend a folder after splitting a contained MIDI region, these notes will remain split or shortened.

Workaround 2 (applicable only to folders which contain only audio files): Cut the folder instead of resizing it.
