Chapter 19: Advanced Cues
Software Version 3.05

Note that when you assign a Follow to a cue, the Follow time delays the next
cue’s execution, starting from the last cue’s initiation. Instead of using the
Follow time as the delay, you could assign a Follow time of zero and then
assign a Delay to the next cue. The difference between these two methods lies
in how the Playback faders run the cues. When a Follow finishes counting
down, the next cue loads to a different fader and begins to run. When a Delay
finishes counting down, the cue fade runs on the same Playback fader. This is
significant because when you use a Go, Go To Link, or Go To Clean Up
command, it will not clear a Delay time counting down, but it will clear a
Follow from the fader and prevent the next cue from running. Pressing the
Take Control button for the Playback fader with a Delay counting down will
take manual control of the cue on that fader.

BASIC RULE: A Follow belongs to the “first” cue, while a Delay
belongs to the “next” cue. Technically, the next cue has not begun during a
Follow countdown, but the next cue has already begun during a Delay
countdown.

Split fades are fades that have separate "up" and "down" times. In the
Command Line, the up time and down time are separated by a "+". The up
