View, Default Columns - Resizes the list columns to default sizes.
View, Edit panel - toggles the edit panel on and off.
View, Command panel - toggles the command panel on and off.
Use color codes - toggles color codes on and off. When color codes are enabled, different types of
commands and parameters are shown in different colors.
Ignore first Wait Elapsed on run - when enabled, the cue list will ignore the first wait elapsed
command if started with a run command. When programming, enable this to avoid having to wait for
the first elapsed time before the cue is latched.
Load Cue on double click - when enabled, double clicking a line containing a cue loads the cue into
the cue control. Use to load cues directly from the cue list without enabling cue browsing.
Stop Audio/Media Playback when Cuelist stops - automatically stops audio or media file playback
started by the cue list when the cue list stops; either when the cue list runs out or is stopped
manually.
Automatic Cue Update on Run - When this option is enabled the cue list control will automatically try
to locate and launch the relevant cues that are located before the line that is used as start point for
the run command. This option is only useful when working with transparent cues in the cue list. The
cue list control will search and launch cues after the following rules: Launch the latest previous non-
transparent cue, and then launch any transparent cues between the non-transparent cue and the 'run-
line'.
Auto seek audio tracks/media file on Run - When enabled, the cue list control will automatically
perform load, seek and play commands on audio an track if the run command is executed on a wait
time code line.
MIDI Timecode, stop list on Timecode timeout - automatically stops the cue list when reception of
MIDI time code stops.
MIDI Timecode, Restart List on Timecode Timeout - automatically restarts the cue list when reception
of MIDI time code stops. Enable this option to slave the cue list after an external MTC/SMPTE device
in continuous loops (e.g. from a laser disc player).
Autosave Cuelist on Exit - automatically save the cue list when LightJockey is closed down. An auto
save cue list may be re-loaded via Options/Load Autosave. Note that only the most recent auto save
is available for reload (and only if the auto save option is enabled).
Other cue list functions
Run to line (right click popup menu ->run..)
Using this command causes the cue control to be updated with the contents as if the cuelist has
been executed until (and including) the specific cuelist line. The function is handy when loading
transparent cues in the cuelist since the contents of the cue control depends on previously
sequentially loaded (transparent) cues. The function ignores all other types of commands than cue
commands.
Using marks
The 4 mark buttons
The cue list control contains 4 mark buttons (1-4). These buttons may be used as shortcuts to
specific lines in the cue list. To mark a specific line, highlight it, right click and select Set Mark from
the popup menu. Once a line has been marked, click the corresponding mark button to jump to that
line. If the button is right clicked the cue list will start executing at this line (identical to highlighting
the line, and then click Run) - as the mark functions are also available as hotkey functions, using
marks as shortcuts can be a considerable time saver when programming cue lists . Note that the
marks refer to line numbers only, so if lines are inserted or deleted before the mark they will no longer
point to the same line.
The Lock button When the lock button is enabled, the cue list control will try keep the
'currently active' line in the center of the scrolling list when executing the cue list. The button has no
