11.8.3 Marking the First Cue in a Cue List
If the first cue in a list is assigned to mark, it will only mark after the last cue in the list is
played. By recording a blank cue prior to the first cue in the list, you can create a mark cue for
the first look of a show. For example:
Mark Fade Intensity Position Colour
Cue 0.5 - - - -
Cue 1 Fade 0,2s 100% Right Blue
Cue 2 2s 50% Left -
When cue 0.5 plays it will mark cue 1 so that cue 1 will fade up intensities on stage after the
fixtures are already in position and colour. Furthermore, since the intensity time of cue 1 is
assigned to 2 seconds and the other parameters are assigned to zero, the mark cue will occur
as quickly as possible.
