Merge Cue List Labels between two show files

Hi Stoney,

That's an interesting use case. There's not currently a way of merging just cue labels between one show file and another.

You could probably get to where you want however by merging the evening cue list into another cue list in the matinee list and then creating a slightly complex macro which steps through each cue in your merged cue list and applies the cue label to the same cue number in the other list.

Alternatively, you could find another way of achieving what you're doing. One option would be to have a 'master' cue list which has no content only labels and which triggers either an evening or matinee list which you could change using a macro.

A few thoughts anyway!

Cheers

Dan

You might get lucky exporting the 2 shows as USITT ASCII then using a diff tool like BeyondCompare to do a text merge.

Another option if it's truly just levels that get mucked with would be to pick whichever file is closest to perfect and write a macro to scale the channels that need tweaking using proportional park (Chan X @ /%% Park Enter)

Thanks for the tips.  Have already tried the Macro route only to find that one can't use the Windows copy and paste key commands in a Label action.  Plus using function such as [Copy To] or [Recall From] just places the text of that command in the text entry field.
