15.8 Assigning Cues and Cue Stacks
Cues and Cue Stacks can be assigned to Playbacks at any time.
To assign a Cue, open the Cue Store Window, press the MOVE button, select a Cue, and then select a playback to assign the Cue
to. You can assign to real playbacks or to playbacks in the Playbacks Window. You can assign to a specific Cue Id in a Cue Stack
on a playback, by keying in a Cue Id before you select the playback.
To assign a Cue Stack, open the Cue Stack Store Window, press the MOVE button, select a Cue Stack, and then select an empty
playback to assign the Cue to. You can assign to real playbacks or to playbacks in the Playbacks Window.
Multiple Cues and Cue Stacks can be assigned at a time, by using SHIFT or CTRL and the cursor keys to select multiple Cues
and Cue Stacks in the appropriate window.
15.9 Copying and Moving Cues
Cues can be copied and moved within a Cue stack using the standard move and copy procedures. For example, to move a cue,
press COPY, select the source, then select the destination. To copy multiple cues, press and hold COPY, select multiple entries,
release COPY and select the destination.
When copying or moving within a Cue Stack, Cues the Cues are moved or copied before the destination Cue that you select. To
copy or move onto the end of the Stack select "End" as the destination.
Cues can be copied onto other Cue Stacks that are assigned to playbacks. Select the Cues in the Cue Stack window and then
select a playback fader as the destination.
By default when copying Cues MagicQ does not create new Cues - it simply makes another link to the existing Cue. To force
MagicQ to create a new Cue press SHIFT and COPY and select Unlinked.
15.10 Linked Cues
Cues that are used more than once in a Cue Stack or that are used in more than one Cue Stack are called Linked Cues. If you edit
a linked cue it will affect all places where the Cue is used. The Cue Store Window shows where each cue is used.
In Cue Stacks linked Cues are shown with a “L” in the Cue field. It is possible to unlink a Cue by moving to the Cue in the Cue
Stack and pressing SHIFT and UNLINK CUE.
If you wish to avoid creating linked Cues, then when copying Cues and Cue Stacks use SHIFT + COPY (copy unlinked) rather
than COPY and select COPY UNLINKED.
15.11 Removing Cues and Cue Stacks
Cues can be removed from a Cue Stack by opening the Cue Stack window, then pressing REMOVE and selecting the Cue you
wish to remove by pressing in the “Status or Cue Id” field.
It is also possible to remove a specific Cue from a Cue Stack using the keypad. Type a Cue Id on the keypad then press REMOVE
and select the S button of the Playback you wish to remove the Cue from.
To remove an entire Cue Stack from a Playback press REMOVE and hit the S button of the Playback. Press S button again to
confirm.
Note that the Cue Storage Setting in the Setup options determine whether the Cue and Cue Stack are removed from the Cue Store
and Cue Stack Store as well.
