Editing from the Blind Spreadsheet

The Blind spreadsheet is another useful blind view of cue data. While in Blind, press [Format] to access the spreadsheet. See Spreadsheet (Blind Only).

In spreadsheet view, cues are listed on the y axis and channels/ parameters are displayed on the x axis. This view is useful for showing a limited number of channels over a span of numerous cues. This is the only view where channel data of multiple cues can be viewed at once. This makes spreadsheet view useful for viewing overall trends in channel and parameter data.

Pressing [Params] & {parameter tiles} will expand or collapse information shown. Ion Classic and Element Classic users will need to use [Data] to access the parameter tiles.

Editing cue ranges is possible in spreadsheet view. To select all of the cues, you can press [Cue] [Home] [Thru] [Enter].

Replace With

{Replace With} is used to select channels that have certain specified values and then provide new instructions for those values.

• [Cue] [1] [Thru] [9] [Enter] - selects a range of cues.
• [1] [Thru] [7] <At> [Color Palette] [5] {Replace With} <Color Palette> [3] [Enter] - selects a range of channels that are used throughout these cues and enters a change instruction. This instruction finds all instances of channels 1 through 7 in cues 1 through 9 that are in color palette 5 and replace Color Palette 5 with Color Palette 3.

Be aware of the track and cue only settings when using this command.

The range of possibilities of potential {Replace With} commands is virtually endless and can be applied to single cues or channels, ranges of cues or channels, parameters of any type, or timing data.

Move To

Move To is used to move cues from one location in a cue list to another location in the same or a different cue list. To put Move To on the command line, press [Copy To] twice.

When cues are moved, values that were tracks or move instructions and now match the previous cue will be auto-blocked by the system. The impact on subsequent cues is based on track/cue only settings as described above. Below is an example of Move To:

• [Cue] [2] Move To <Cue> [9] [Enter] - the contents of cue 2 moves to cue 9. Cue 2 is deleted. If cue 9 already existed, a confirmation will be required (unless confirmations have been disabled in setup). Any contents of cue 9 will be replaced entirely.

In the above example, if running in cue only mode, any tracked values in cue 2 become blocks (see Block) or moves in cue 9, as well as any move instructions which now match the previous cue. Cues after cue 9 are affected based on the default setting of track/cue only. Any values in the cue after cue 2 that tracked from moves in cue 2 are changed to move instructions.

Ranges of cues can be moved as well. You can also move cues to other cue lists. In either of these situations if any cue is to be overwritten, a confirmation is required. See Move To.
