white dots display when i play a single note in logic pro 11

I'm working in the tool bar in the beats and time are placed. When I play a single note, a white dot displays for a few seconds above the key, e.g. C maj. and the downward facing caret to its' right.


If I played a complete chord, it would identify the chord. But if I play only a single note, this irritating white dot lights up and then fades.


What is the point of this dot and what is it trying to communicate and whey isn't there a dictionary of Apple language I can look into to to find out what dots mean ?

• Did you know you can customize control bar and display ?

To display incoming midi notes just enable Midi Activity (In/Out).


I don't know what dots you are referring to, but they may related to your limited display setting.

BTW, next time you could take a screen recording (a video) and post it on youtube.

OK here is a screen shot minus the white dot since I don't have 4 hands and the dot doesn't last long enough to take a photo You're looking at the LCD. On the right side you can see the words Cmaj, a little space and the downward caret, or "v". When I press a key on my KORG D1, a tiny white dot blinks in the space between the chord and the caret. What is this dot trying to convey? It must be the result of a setting somewhere. What is that setting? I don't recall this irritant in prior versions of Logic. In Logic 10 if I pressed single key, that key name would display. Now in Logic 11 that doesn't happen. Only chords display, not single notes. If you know what that setting is, please tell me. Thanks
