Editing screen control parameters in MainStage
When you select a screen control in Layout mode, the parameters for the screen control
appear in the ScreenControl Inspector where you can edit them. Most screen controls
share the same common parameters, but some types have different parameters according
to their function. The parameters for each type are described in the following sections.
For most Hardware Input parameters, there is no need to change the default values
MainStage sets when you learn a controller assignment unless you intend to use the screen
control for a specific, non-standard purpose.
Edit parameters for a screen control
1. In the MainStage Layout mode, select the screen control. (When you drag a screen
control to the workspace, it is selected.)
2. In the ScreenControl Inspector, edit the parameters for the selected screen control
(for example, by choosing a menu item, typing text, clicking the button, or selecting a
checkbox).
Lift and stamp screencontrol parameters in MainStage
You can “lift,” or copy, certain parameters from a screen control and “stamp” them onto
other screen controls. This makes it easy to give multiple screen controls the same size,
appearance, and text attributes to create a uniform look in your layout. Parameters affected
by lift and stamp include the parameters in the Appearance and Text Labels headings in the
ScreenControl Inspector (except the control type) as well as the size of the screen control.
Lift parameters from a screen control
• In MainStage, control-click the screen control in the workspace, then choose Lift
Attributes from the shortcut menu.
If you’re using a Mac with a Touch Bar, you can press the Lift button to lift parameters from
a screen control.
Stamp parameters onto another screen control
In MainStage, control-click the screen control in the workspace, then choose Stamp
Attributes from the shortcut menu.
You can Shift-click to select multiple screen controls, then Control-click the selection.
If you’re using a Mac with a Touch Bar, you can press the Stamp button to stamp
parameters onto another screen control.
Reset screen control parameters in MainStage
You can reset a screen control to its saved value (as stored in the Screen Control
Inspector).
