function when the cue list is not running.
The Browse button When the browse button is enabled, the cue list control will launch
and trig cues from the cue list when individual lines are highlighted. This is a handy option when
browsing through the cue list manually. Disable to avoid that the cue list launches and trigs cues.
Enable "Load cue on double click" in the preferences menu to load cues from the cue list without
enabling cue browsing.
Offset Time code function
It may sometimes be necessary to offset all or a portion of the time codes in the cue list, e.g. if the
audio track is moved to a different media (from one CD to another). To offset time codes, highlight the
relevant lines (possibly the whole cue list), right click then select offset time code from the popup
menu. The 5 offset options will offset Digital Audio time codes, Media player time codes, CD time
codes, MIDI time code and PC time (clock) respectively.
Offsetting CD time code
Set the required time code offset by entering the offset values in the corresponding fields. Click Check
Changes, to check if offsetting will lead to overflow or underflow in the resulting time codes - overflow
is when a time code is larger than the permitted values (e.g. 25 hours, 10 minutes on PC clock),
underflow is when time codes are below the permitted values (e.g. negative hour value on PC clock). If
an offset is applied with resulting overflow or underflow values the resulting time codes are
automatically adjusted to maximum or minimum values, e.g. -01:00:00 is adjusted to 00:00:00.
Check Adjust Wait times Only, to adjust wait times only. If unchecked all relevant time code
commands are adjusted (e.g. play or seek commands). When offsetting MIDI time code, make sure
to select the correct frame rate, otherwise the offset may be wrongly calculated using too few or too
many frames.
Sorting wait times
Lines in the cue list may be sorted by wait times (ascending order only). Highlight the lines to sort,
right click, and select Sort Wait Times - then select the type of wait time to sort: Digital Audio wait
time, Media Player wait time, CD wait time or MIDI wait time.
Note that the following restrictions apply to lines being sorted:
1. Selection must not be fragmented (selected lines must be one continuous block).
2. Selected lines must not contain other commands than a Wait of the selected type (e.g. wait CD).
Converting old-style cue lists
LightJockey version 1.08 build 2 implements a new cue list engine adding new functionality to the cue
lists. These changes require a new file format that is not compatible with previous versions. To
manually update a cue list created with previous LightJockey versions, select Import Old Format
Cuelist from the Options menu. Select the cue list file to import from the file dialog.
On import, the cue list will automatically be converted to the new format - remember to re-save the
cue list in the new format.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If any of the old cue lists have been programmed to link to other cue lists it is vital that the new cue
lists are saved with the same cue list number as the old cue lists. Use Save as Cuelist# in the save
cue list dialog to ensure that the cue lists are saved with the required number (find the old cue list
number from the filename when importing).
