Working with a Single Cue List 277
When cues are moved, values that were tracks or move instructions and now match the previous
cue will be auto-blocked by the system. The impact on subsequent cues is based on track/cue only
settings as described above. Below is an example of Move To:
[Cue] [2] MoveTo <Cue> [9] [Enter] - the contents of cue 2 moves to cue 9. Cue 2 is deleted.
If cue 9 already existed, a confirmation will be required (unless confirmations have been dis-
abled in setup). Any contents of cue 9 will be replaced entirely.
In the above example, if running in cue only mode, any tracked values in cue 2 become blocks (see
Block (on page265)) or moves in cue 9, as well as any move instructions which now match the pre-
vious cue. Cues after cue 9 are affected based on the default setting of track/ cue only. Any values in
the cue after cue 2 that tracked from moves in cue 2 are changed to move instructions.
Ranges of cues can be moved as well. You can also move cues to other cue lists. In either of these
situations if any cue is to be overwritten, a confirmation is required.
See Using Move To (on page299) for more information.
Using Encoders in Blind
The encoders are disabled by default in blind. Press an [encoder paging key] prior to moving the
encoders, and they will function while you remain in Blind.
When a cue is specified, you can select channels and alter parameters using the encoders. [Q
Only/Track] can be placed on the command line to determine how these changes will impact sub-
sequent cues.
Deleting Cues
Cues, lists of cues, or ranges of cues can be deleted. When deleting cues, the track/ cue only setting
of the console will determine how subsequent cues are affected. The [Q Only /Track] button can be
used to modify the default behavior as needed.
Some examples of cue deletion are:
[Delete] <Cue> [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 5. Subsequent cues in the list are affected
depending on the console default setting.
[Delete] <Cue> [6] [Q Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 6, making exception to the
default setting.
[Delete] <Cue> [7] [Part] [1] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes part 1 of cue 7. Deleting a part does not
delete any move instructions. Those will be moved to the main cue. See Deleting aPart from a
Multipart Cue (on page329)
[Delete] <Cue> [8] [Part] [1] [Thru] [3] [Q Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes parts 1 through 3
of cue 8, making exception to the default setting.
[Group] [1] [Delete] <Cue> [2] [Enter] - deletes any channels in group 1 from cue 2. Cue 2
remains in the cue list and any channels not in group 1 are unaffected.
[Delete] <Cue> [2] [Thru] [8] [Q Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cues 2 through 8, making
exception to the default setting.
Deleting In Track Mode
When the console is in track mode, deleting a cue also removes any move instructions provided by
the cue. For example, assume you have stored cues 1 through 10 and cue 5 contains move instruc-
tions for channels 1 through 5. If cue 5 is deleted, the move instructions are deleted as well and the
values from cue 4 will track directly into cue 6 and beyond.
