Creating Cues Blind
Cues can be created "blind" (while they are not being viewed on the stage).
This can be done in any of the three blind cue displays: Preview, Cuesheet, or
Tracksheet. While in these blind displays, any cue that you enter in the
Command Line is created if it does not already exist. The cue can be created
blind by pressing either the [CUE] hard key or the (SELECT CUE) soft key.
? EXAMPLE: To create a cue in any of the blind cue displays:
[CUE] [#] [TIME] [#] [ENTER]
- or -
(SELECT CUE) [#] [TIME] [#] [ENTER]
The contents of the cue that is created depends on which tracking mode you are
using when the command is executed. If you are in Tracking mode, the cue
will be identical to the previous cue, but with all soft levels.
? EXAMPLE: Let's say cues 6, 6.5, and 7 already exist. If the
following command is entered in Tracking mode:
[CUE] [6] [.] [8] [ENTER] (Cue 6.8 is created and is identical
to cue 6.5.)
In the Example above, if you are in Cue Only or Clean Up mode, the cue
created will be "blank" in the sense that hard zeros are assigned to any channel
where a level, hard or soft, occurred in the previous cue. In Clean Up mode,
hard zeros are assigned to all channels.

ADVANCED TOPICS: For more on Tracking modes, see Chapter
10, Editing Cues And Using Track Modes.
If you are in either Preview or Tracksheet displays, you can begin to make
channel level commands to edit the cue that you just created. You cannot make
level setting commands in the Cuesheet display since you cannot view any of
the levels, even though you can create cues while in the Cuesheet display.
