Chapter 10: Editing Cues and Using Track Modes
Software Version 3.05

?
BASIC RULE: Copying cues in Tracking mode may create a new
cue that has different levels than the original cue. It may also affect tracking
levels in cues that follow the new cue.
Copying in Cue Only Mode: The destination (new) cue contains the
same levels as the original cue for all levels, hard and soft. Soft levels become
hard levels in the new cue, where necessary to maintain their same value. The
cue that follows the new cue is affected similarly. Tracking soft levels become
hard levels if they must do so to maintain their same level. Otherwise soft
levels stay soft.
?
BASIC RULE: Copying cues in Cue Only mode always creates a
new cue that has the same levels as in the original cue. Soft levels change to
hard levels as necessary to maintain the same levels in the new cue. It does
not change levels in cues that follow the new cue, except for changing soft
levels to hard levels as necessary to maintain the same levels in all cues.
Copying in Clean Up Mode: Copying cues in Clean Up mode has the
same results as copying in Cue Only mode. However, the results are not visible
while in Clean Up mode, because no soft levels are shown. Generally, if you
are working in Clean Up mode, you are not using Tracking levels anyway, so
the copying of cues always results in the exact same cue in two locations.
?
HINT: To maintain the same “look” of a cue copy and the next cue
after the cue copy’s new location, do all Copy commands in Cue Only or Clean
Up mode. Although you cannot see the tracking levels while in Clean Up
mode, both modes will preserve tracking levels where they can do so (where
level values do not change).
Deleting Cues in Different Track Modes
The Delete Cue command completely removes the designated cue from your
show. In all Track Modes, the contents of the cue following the deleted cue are
preserved by converting all its soft levels to hard levels as necessary. This not
only protects the next cue, but it also maintains the tracking pattern for the
series of cues following the deleted cue.
