Running Multiple Cue Lists

I'm looking for the cleanest way to deal with the following:

I have one primary cue list that contains all fixtures and parameters. During a specific part of the show I need to trigger a secondary cue list which runs an effect on the pan and tilt of a few fixtures. Once this part of the show is complete I need to cleanly release the secondary cue list and return control back to the primary list.

Right now I'm asserting my primary list and then releasing the secondary one in a quick auto follow. If I don't do this with follows it seems that sometimes the list releases (sending p/t to 0/0) and then my main list reasserts. Obviously this is no good.

1. Is there a way to release the secondary list and have it automatically go to the values contained in the primary list?

2. Would it be wiser to use a submaster for any reason?

Thanks.

  • Hey Zach.    Have you tried using the Off function?  So in your main cue list, if you use the execute field to trigger the secondary cue (i.e. Cue x Execute 2/1) and then write a macro to turn off the secondary list (Learn Macro x Enter   Off + Load Learn) and then put that macro in the execute field of your main cue list when you want to turn the effect off?

    Yesterday I ran with one cue that asserts position and runs a macro with the following syntax: Goto Cue 102/ 0 Time 1. This seemed to work well. I realized the macro I had been using was using Goto Cue Out instead of Zero.

    Is the assert redundant here since Goto Cue 0 seems to work for this scenario?
