Merge Cue List Labels between two show files

Hello

Working in a house with a matinee setup which requires bumped up levels due to ambient daylight.  Cue numbering, cue timing remains same between matinee and evening shows.  There are a number of works in rep which have evening show files with cue labels that did not make it into matinee cue lists.

I see no way of just merging cue list labels between show files.  Feel like I'm out of luck here.  Anyone ever run into this?

TIA Stoney

  • 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

    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)
