Deleting Cues

Cues, ranges of cues, or lists of cues (if available) can be deleted. When deleting cues, the track/ cue only setting of the console will determine how subsequent cues are affected. The [Q Only /Track] button can be used to modify the default behavior as needed.

Some examples of cue deletion are:

  • [Delete] <Cue> [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 5. Subsequent cues in the list are affected depending on the console default setting.
  • [Delete] <Cue> [6] [Q Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cue 6, making exception to the default setting.
  • [Delete] <Cue> [7] [Part] [1] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes part 1 of cue 7. Deleting a part does not delete any move instructions. Those will be moved to the main cue. See Deleting Parts from Multipart Cues
  • [Group] [1] [Delete] <Cue> [2] [Enter] - deletes any channels in group 1 from cue 2. Cue 2 remains in the cue list and any channels not in group 1 are unaffected.
  • [Delete] <Cue> [2] [Thru] [8] [Q Only/Track] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes cues 2 through 8, making exception to the default setting.

Deleting In Track Mode

When the console is in track mode, deleting a cue also removes any move instructions provided by the cue. For example, assume you have stored cues 1 through 10 and cue 5 contains move instructions for channels 1 through 5. If cue 5 is deleted, the move instructions are deleted as well and the values from cue 4 will track directly into cue 6 and beyond.

In this instance, if you used the [Q Only] button in the delete instruction, cue 5 would be deleted, but the tracked values in cue 6 that originated in cue 5 would remain and be converted to move instructions.

Deleting In Cue Only Mode

When the console is in cue only mode, any subsequent tracked values are not eliminated, but are converted to move instructions instead.

In the example above, deleting cue 5 (in cue only mode) would result in any tracked values in cue 6, that originated in cue 5, being converted to move instructions.

If you apply the [Track] button to the delete instruction, the move instructions from cue 5 are deleted and the values from cue 4 would then track into cue 6 and beyond.
