Sorting Tracks
Maybe you have a lot of tracks in your show, but at the moment you are only interested in some of them. Select
these tracks and press the SORT button. The selected tracks will be sorted and displayed at the very top of the track
display.
If you have selected all (or none) tracks and press SORT, they are sorted in their natural order, e.g. the order in which
they appear on the console.
The sorting of tracks is part of the show and is saved with the show. It is only a display function and not affecting the
playback functionality.

- Press the ADD HERE! button.
- At the given position, a new event will appear, and you are directly going to edit the event.
When you are adding events on an executor command track, the timecode editor is trying to be smart. It is trying to
figure out what would be the most likely command at the given place.
For example if you have an executor with a cuelist, containing 3 steps, and you simply add one event after the other,
it is assuming:
GOTO STEP1 , GOTO STEP2 , GOTO STEP3 , OFF
Or if you are adding a new event after a FLASH UP ON command, it will of course offer the new event as FLASH UP
OFF.
For chaser, the editor is never predicting GOTOs, instead it is using conventional Gos. The editor is also assuming,
that you only want to switch the chase on, and then off again, regardless of how many steps the chase has.
