I'm trying to create a Magic Sheet for lighting focus of Nutcracker (we do the show every year, and the plot is always the same)
I've input the entire plot into the magic sheet, and have all the channels matched up and so on.
I have "Glow" "Full" "Complete" and "Fix" buttons.
The idea is that with 3 people in Genies focusing the show, 1 op can be at the desk and "Glow" the next fixtures, which will bring them on at 30%. When they're at the fixture and the LD is ready "Full" will bring them to Full. "complete" will be pushe when the LD is happy with the focus and the tech is done. "Fix" will notate something is wrong with the fixture and needs attention.
I have "Glow" "Full" & "Complete" mostly working through macros. it takes the channels selected and tosses them at percentages. I would also like them to change the colour of the fixture on the Magic Sheet. This is where I'm coming into problems.
I want to do this without Color Plates, because some of the fixtures have Scrollers or are Moving Lights.
I've spent a few hours today trying to figure out a way to "change color" on a magic sheet through macros, but Magic Sheets don't function through regular key-strokes and "learn" stops when you switch over to the magic sheet.
with "fix" I wanted a "text 4" from patch to have "needs work" attached to the fixture. "text 4" is a choosable field on the Magic Sheet, but I could not make a macro to add this to a channel. (I had about 6 failed attempts to make that work, all ended with syntax errors).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
