276 Appendix F MIDI Show Control
The cue number, if specified, makes WATCHOUT locate a Control cue with
that name (that is, the name of the cue must be a number). The GO and TIMED
GO, LOAD and STOP commands interpret cue number 0 as specifying “no
cue”, allowing you to specify the cue list part only. This allows you to use the
STOP command to stop an Auxiliary Timeline without necessarily specifying a
particular cue by setting the cue number to zero.
The following is a description of each command, as it relates to WATCHOUT.
GO If given without a cue/list specification, runs the main timeline.
If given with a cue but no list, locates the specified cue on the main timeline and
runs from there. Does nothing if a cue with that name doesn’t exist.
If given with cue and list, locates the specified cue on the specified Auxiliary
timeline, and runs it from there (assuming cue lists are mapped to Auxiliary
timelines). Does nothing if specified cue or timeline can’t be found.
TIMED GO Performs like GO, ignoring the time value specified.
STOP Pauses the timeline, optionally locating the specified cue.
LOAD Similar to GO, except that the timeline isn’t run.
RESET Stops all Auxiliary timelines (returning them to their inactive state) and reset the
main timeline to its beginning.
ALL OFF Enters Stand-By mode.
RESTORE Exits Stand-By mode.
