MagicQ User Manual 115 Version 1.4.9.0
Some users prefer to hide the QId and only use and view Cue Ids – use the Setup, Cue Storage Settings –
“Hide Cue Store Ids (Qxxx). When this option is set the Cue Stack window and Cue Window only either
show the Cue Ids from within the Cue Stack – they do not show the Q ids from the Cue Store.
13.8 Assigning Cues and Cue Stacks
Cues and Cue Stacks can be assigned to Playbacks at any time.
To assign a Cue, open the Cue Store Window, press the MOVE button, select a Cue, and then select a
playback to assign the Cue to. You can assign to real playbacks or to playbacks in the Playbacks Window.
You can assign to a specific Cue Id in a Cue Stack on a playback, by keying in a Cue Id before you select
the playback.
To assign a Cue Stack, open the Cue Stack Store Window, press the MOVE button, select a Cue Stack,
and then select an empty playback to assign the Cue to. You can assign to real playbacks or to playbacks
in the Playbacks Window.
Multiple Cues and Cue Stacks can be assigned at a time, by using SHIFT and the cursor keys to select
multiple Cues and Cue Stacks in the appropriate window.
13.9 Copying and Moving Cues
Cues can be copied and moved within a Cue stack using the standard move and copy procedures. For
example, to move a cue, press COPY, select the source, then select the destination. To copy multiple
cues, press and hold COPY, select multiple entries, release COPY and select the destination.
When copying or moving within a Cue Stack, Cues the Cues are moved or copied before the destination
Cue that you select. To copy or move onto the end of the Stack select "End" as the destination.
Cues can be copied onto other Cue Stacks that are assigned to playbacks. Select the Cues in the Cue Stack
window and then select a playback fader as the destination.
By default when copying Cues, the console does not create new cues - it simply makes another link to the
existing Cue. To force the console to create a new cue press SHIFT and COPY.
13.10 Linked Cues
Cues that are used more than once in a Cue Stack or that are used in more than one Cue Stack are called
Linked Cues. If you edit a linked cue it will affect all places where the Cue is used. The Cue Store
Window shows where each cue is used.
In Cue Stacks linked Cues are shown with a “L” in the Cue field. It is possible to unlink a Cue by moving
to the Cue in the Cue Stack and pressing SHIFT and UNLINK CUE.
If you wish to avoid creating linked Cues, then when copying Cues and Cue Stacks use SHIFT + COPY
(copy unlinked) rather than COPY.
13.11 Removing Cues and Cue Stacks
Cues can be removed from a Cue Stack by opening the Cue Stack window, then pressing REMOVE and
selecting the Cue you wish to remove by pressing in the “Status or Cue Id” field.
