11.7.4 Blocking Cues
Blocking cues prevent changes made earlier in the cuelist from tracking through to
subsequent cues in the cuelist.
Using State
You can create blocking cues using the State button on the Record Option s Toolb ar. For
example, suppose that you have the following cues:
Fixture: 1 2 3
Cue 1 30 50 100
Cue 2 100 60
Cue 3 50
Cue 4 40
to turn Cue 4 into a blocking cue, you copy it to itself ‘with state’:
1. Cu e 4 Copy State Cue 4 Enter : the State button is on the Record Options Toolbar
that appears when you press Copy.
2. Select Replace.
The values are now:
Fixture: 1 2 3
Cue 1 30 50 100
Cue 2 100 60
Cue 3 50
Cue 4 30 40 50
Because of tracking, when you copy a cue to another location you only copy the hard values,
so you do not create a new cue that actually represents the on-stage look that you would get
by running the original cue.
To copy both hard and tracked values, you can use Copy and State:
List 1 Cue 5 Copy Sta te List 2 Cue 1 En ter : creates a new cue in Cuelist 2 that
is the state of Cue 5 in Cuelist 1.
