16.1 Selecting from What is Onstage
You can select fixtures from what is on stage using the Live key. Fixtures are considered to
be on stage if their intensities are non-zero. If you wish to select fixtures that are onstage but
have intensity values at zero then you can use Pig + Live.
Below are some examples of how live can be used:
Live Enter : selects all fixtures that are on stage with intensities above 0.
Pig + Live Enter : selects all fixtures that are on stage regardless of intensity.
You can apply a mask to the selection. This allows you to select all fixtures that are onstage
that are assigned to particular values or palettes. For example:
Live @ 5 0 : selects fixtures that are on stage at 50%.
Live @ 5 0 Th ru 8 0 : selects fixtures that are on stage at 50% to 80%.
Live @ 0 : selects fixtures that are at 0%.
Using a palette as a mask:
Live [Blu e] : selects fixtures that are on stage that are at their ‘Blue’ palette settings.
You can use the Live and / keys together to select fixtures that are both live on stage and in a
specified fixture selection:
Live 1 Thru 5 selects fixtures that are in the range 1 to 5 that are live on stage.
Live / G rou p 1 selects fixtures that are in Group 1 that are live on stage.
Note that in all the above examples using the Live key only selects fixtures; it does not alter
values in the Programmer or editor.
Tip: Fixtures that do not have an intensity parameter such as a colour scroller are always
considered live on stage and will be selected when using the L ive key.
