You can get in a real mess trying to recall Attributes that have never been
stored, or have been stored in some Preset Focuses but not others in the
same Preset Bank.
Worse still, you can end up editing and resaving a Preset Focus with some of
the original Attributes missing. This results in some of the Attributes updating
and some not, with chaotic results.
Its gets worse still - you can accidentally overwrite an Attribute that normally
lives on a completely different Preset Bank by including it in the current Focus
Mask.
If you are very careful, you can use this knowledge to do some very clever
things, but if you make a mistake, you can make your show highly
unpredictable. You can always access the other Attributes from their own
Preset Bank anyway.
⇒ Set the Focus Masks for all the Preset Banks before you program and
stick to them!
⇒ Keep checking that the Focus Masks are correct. It is very easy to forget
that you are in EDIT FOCUS or STORE FOCUS mode and accidentally
change the Focus Mask thinking that you are changing Preset Banks.
