74 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
If you select the {Advanced} button in the merge show loading screen, you will have the
opportunity to load partial components from the show file and be able to specify the desired
location of those partial components in the current show file.
For example, you could specify only cues 5-10 and load them as cues 20-25 in the current show.
You could also specify only specific palettes, presets, effects, and so on. To see the complete list
of show components, press the {Advanced} key in the merge show loading screen.
As you specify components, they are added to a table in the CIA. In the table, fields with a dark
background may be edited, fields with a light gray background do not apply to that component.
For each component in the list, you can specify the desired range by pressing the proper area in
the table and entering numbers from the keypad. The columns in the table are:
List - The list you are taking data from (such as a cue list).
List Target - The list you are adding the data to.
Start - The first in a range of components (such as a range of cues).
End - The last in a range of components.
Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this will
be the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will follow
in order).
Note: In the {Advanced} view, you can use the [Thru] key to jump to the End column
and [At] to jump to the Target column.
