11. Cue and Cuelists 217
11.1.3 Insert, Merge and Replace
When recording, copying or moving a cue, if the destination location already has a cue
recorded in it, you will be prompted with record options of Insert, Merge or Replace:
Insert: creates a new destination cue. The new cue will be assigned a free location
lower than the one chosen, using a point number if necessary.
Merge: Incorporates the new information into the destination cue. If the same fixtures
and parameters are in both cues, the new values being merged will take priority.
Replace: Overwrites the cue information in that destination.
If you are copying a cue, all three options are available. If you are moving a cue, only the
Insert option is available.
Tip: If you know that you are about to record, copy or move a cue to an existing
destination, you can pre-select Insert, Merge or Replace from the Record Options Toolbar.
This appears after you press the Record, Copy or Move keys.
11.1.4 Numbering Cues
If you leave out the cue number when recording cues, Hog 4 OS will give the cue the next
whole number in the list. If you specify a cue number, you can use numbers with up to five
digits before the decimal and four digits after; for example: 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 . This can be
useful to insert cues between previously recorded ones.
You can later renumber a complete cuelist; see Renumbering Cues within a Cuelist.
11.1.5 Naming Cues
You can give a cue a name that will be displayed in the Cu elist window and on the Playback
Bar:
1. Open + Choo se : opens the Cuelist window of the selected master.
2. Select the cue's name cell.
3. Set [ n a m e ] En ter : type in the name.
Tip: To name a cue immediately after recording it, press the Se t key. This will open a
Quickname window. Enter the cue name and select OK.
