HD24/96 Technical Reference 21
RENUM(ber) changes all the cue numbers so that they’re sequential with increasing
time and contiguously numbered (no missing numbers as a result of deleted cues).
Despite the ominous warning message which appears when renumbering the cue list,
LOC points are not affected by this operation, nor are cue names or times changed.
STORE changes the time of the currently highlighted Cue to the current transport time.
This is an alternate to editing the time field or dragging the cue pointer. It’s handy if your
habit is to always use the same cue number to jump to your current working section of
the project. When you move on to work on a new section, just highlight your “working”
cue and click on STORE.
History List – Undo and Re-do
The History List is accessed by clicking on the HISTORY tab at the top of the List
window. The history list stores each editing operation while a project is open. As you
split, copy, paste, move, or record a new region, the operation appears on the list.
In addition to providing information about the progress of the editing session, the History
List lets you regress back through edits in the currently active Playlist. Clicking on any
item in the list “undoes” all the region operations that follow it on the list and bring you
back to that former edited state.
History List Caveats:
The History List is only active for the current Playlist while you’re in the process of
building it. Once another Playlist or Project is opened, the History List is purged . . .
history.
As long as you are moving among contiguous editing operations on the history list, you
can re-do anything that you’ve undone. The entries on the History List below the point to
which you’ve returned change to a gray background color, but are still on the list. If,
however, you move back up the History list (undoing some operations) and then perform
an edit operation, the following “grayed out” operations are removed from the History
list.
If you back up in the History list to an event between the last recording pass and a prior
recording pass, you’ll get a warning on the screen asking if you want to delete the audio,
and reminding you that you can’t undo that operation. Clicking “Yes” in the dialog box
will undo both the edits and the recording. This is functionally equivalent to pressing the
DELETE LAST button on the front panel or remote. Once you do this, all the operations
including and beyond the recording pass disappear from the History List.
You can, however, click “No” in the warning dialog box, and the operations, including the
recording pass, will be undone (and become grayed out on the History list), and the
audio will not be lost. Those edit operations, including the recording pass, can be re-
done by moving back down the History List, as long as you don’t perform another edit
operation or recording pass.
The History List is interactive with the Undo and Redo commands accessible from the
top level Edit menu or keyboard shortcuts:
Edit | Undo = Ctrl-Z
Edit | Redo = Ctrl-shift-Z.
Performing an Undo command backs up one entry on the History List, Redo moves
down one entry. See the section on Region Editing Tools for more about the History
List.
