MagicQ User Manual 175 Version 1.4.9.0
19.10.2 Delete Cue Stacks on remove Playbacks
With this setting you can force Cue Stacks to be deleted when the Playback is deleted. Cue Stacks are
only deleted if they are not used in other Playbacks. This option defaults to No.
19.10.3 Use first free Cues, Stacks, Palettes
By default MagicQ uses the lowest free Cue when recording new Cues. It also uses the lowest free Cue
Stack when recording new Cue Stacks and lowest free Palette when automatically recording Palettes.
Setting this setting to No, forces MagicQ to record items after the place the last items were recorded –
enabling the user to control where new items are recorded.
19.10.4 Copy mode (linked/unlinked)
By default when you copy a Cue Stack, MagicQ creates a new Cue Stack but retains links to the old Cues
– i.e. no new Cues are made. Using SHIFT + COPY you can specify an unlinked copy whereby new Cues
are made.
This setting allows the default Copy behaviour to be changed so that the copy is always unlinked unless
SHIFT + COPY is pressed.
The options are “linked”, “unlinked” and “unlinked, no state”.
The “unlinked, no state” option specifies that when Cues are copied within a Cue Stack only the “delta”
values are copied not the state of the Cue at that step.
19.10.5 Derive settings from previous Cue
This setting specifies how MagicQ sets the Cue settings for new Cues recorded on a Cue Stack.
When this setting is set to No, MagicQ uses the default Cue settings specified in the Step and Step Times
tabs in the Cue Stack, View Defaults view.
When this setting is set to Yes, MagicQ attempts to derive the setting Cue settings from the previous Cue
in the Cue Stack. If the Cue is the first in the Cue Stack then MagicQ uses the default Step and Step
Times.
19.10.6 Hide Cue Store Ids (Qids)
MagicQ supports two different ids for Cues – the Cue Id of the Cue within the specific Cue Stack and the
QId of the Cue within the Cue Store.
Many users record Cues directly to Cue Stacks on Playbacks and do not need to use the Cue Store. These
users are only concerned with the Cue Id in the Cue Stack.
When this setting is set to Yes, MagicQ hides the QId from the Cue Store from the Cue Stack Windows
and Cue Windows.
