Editing a cue
To edit a cue, highlight the line, right-click and select Edit Cue. When editing a cue, the cue is
retrieved to the cue control much like the load command. However, any sequence link options
programmed in the cue are not actually performed - linking cues are stopped at the end of the loops
without linking the next cue.
Loading multiple cues
Loading several cues in one go only makes good sense if all (but possibly the first cue to load) of the
cues to load are transparent cues - however there is no built-in check that this is actually the case.
Loading multiple non-transparent cues will just result in the last cue being executed. Note : if
multiple cues are loaded the warning on cue changed option is temporarily disabled. To load
multiple cues, make sure that the Enable Multi-Cue Load option is enabled (preferences menu).
First highlight the cues, then select a load option as when loading a single cue (except for the double
click, or browse). Note that it is not possible to load multiple cues across cue pages. When loading
multiple cues via the global cue list or cue pages, the cues are loaded and evaluated in a top to
bottom order. Alternatively, type the cue numbers into the Cue# field. Separate the cue numbers with
a '+', e.g. 1+2+3 loads cues 1,2 and 3.
Deleting cues
Highlight the cues to delete - then right-click and select Delete Cue(s) from the popup menu.
Warning - deleted cues are gone for good.
Useful Hotkeys for the global list
A number of keyboard hotkey functions may be helpful when working with the global list of cues - see
hotkeys for an explanation of how to assign hotkeys to functions.
Toggle List of Cues - toggles the list of cues on and off.
Load Selected Cue (Global List) - loads the selected cue from the global cue list, regardless if the list
has Window focus (the [Enter] key only works if the global list has focus).
Focus Cue# Selection - shows the list of cues if necessary and forces windows focus to the cue#
selection field. This is a useful option if cues are usually selected via the cue# entry. If for example,
the 'c' key is assigned to this function, precede all cue number entries with a 'c' (e.g. 'c123') to make
sure that the cue# entry gets focus.
It is also possible to assign specific cues directly to a hotkey - see hotkeys.
The preferences menu
View Global List & View Cue Pages - used to show or hide the global list and cue pages respectively.
Global List preferences & Cue Pages preferences - used to set preferences for the global list and cue
pages respectively.
Load cue on [Enter] - by default highlighting a line in the global cue list or one of the cue pages and
then pressing enter will load the cue. This behavior may be disabled by un-checking this option.
Browse Mode - check Browse Cues in the preferences menu to switch to browse mode. When in
browse mode the cue is automatically loaded as soon as the line is highlighted, either by clicking on
the line or using the keyboard cursor keys. When browse mode is enabled it works both in the global
list and on the cue pages.
Enable multi-Cue Load - used to enable or disable loading of multiple cues. The option also enables or
disables multi-cue load from cue pages.
Use Color Code for Transparent Cues - when checked, transparent cues are shown in blue to
distinguish them from non-transparent cues. When un-checked, the names of the transparent cues
are preceded with a (T).
The global list preferences
The global list preferences menu is a sub-menu to the main preferences menu, use it to set
preferences for the global list.
