Macro change behavior depending on Foreground/Background Mode

Question

Hej Guys, I recognized a strange behavior on a Macro when I change it from default to background Mode. I&acute;m Programming Q-Only and wanted to write a Macro that prevent Movers from changing position when they fade out. Macro looks like this: Blind Blind Cue Enter Cue Next Enter 
 Query @ 0 Enter 
 @ Enter 
 @ 0 Enter 
 Live 
 
 So far this seems to work fine for me. Params will be kept in the next Q. Then I wanted to see if I could set it to Background Mode to prevent my Screens fliping to Blind and back Live. Screens didn&acute;t flip and Macro worked BUT the values are now tracked when there is no Block in the Sequence. Is that a bug or is it happening for a reason? Thanks for any info! Cheers Paul

there are three things you have to know to understand this: 
- running a macro in background will run the macro as User 0 
- Tracking or Cue Only is a setting that is set on a user basis 
- Tracking is the default. 
 
using background runs the macro as user 0, which wasn't affected when you set your user to Cue Only. but User 0 used the default which is tracking. 
 
i never tried, if you can change the tracking behaviour of user 0. alternatively you would have to use " @ QOnly Enter, "@ 0 QOnly Enter". last option: you change the tracking behaviour of a user you don't usually use and then set the macro to always run as this user number.
