Ion link loop problems

Question

Hey everyone, 
 So i'm working on a personal light show and I have one intel hanging on each side of the house, In my light show I have one cue, cue 26, with the intels faced at the wall with a horizontal beam FX, then in the next cue, cue 27, I have the same lights in the same position just with a vertical beam FX, and I have the cue 27 linked back to cue 26 with a loop of 5 times. I also want to never be able to touch the board during the show so in order for it to move on to the next cue I have the cue 27 execute cue 2/1 (a exact copy of 1/27) which then has a hang to 2/2 which has a execute to cue 1/28. However when I press go, everything works fine until the first loop back to 26, where the intels don't switch back to the horizontal beam. And they stay stuck in the vertical until cue 1/28 is executed. Any ideas on how to fix? 
 Thanks!

I've now had a chance to set this up myself so the following works 
 
On cue 26 set the follow time eg 1 second 
On cue 27 set the follow time eg 1 second 
On cue 27 set link to 26 loop 4 ( so it does the sequence 5 times in all) 
 
That should all work simply and is the obvious bit. 
 
What is slightly awkward is that when it finishes the loop it doesn't move onto cue 28 automatically ie the follow does seem to apply. 
 
The solution to this is to record a macro that is just pressing the GO button. 
 
Then edit the macro and insert a wait 10 before the go. 
 
Then insert a cue before 26 eg 25.5 with nothing in it at all and a follow time of 0 and an execute macro to run your macro. 
 
Then with the example above when cue 25.5 runs it starts the macros which starts counting down 10 seconds and goes straight to cue 26 which runs for 1 second and fires up 27 which runs for one second and loops back to 26. 
 
After 5 times ie 10 seconds the loop stops looping and the wait in the macro completes and presses GO and you are on cue 28 
 
I tested this just now and it works as above.

That's still too complicated. You don't need Voodoo to make Cue 28 run automatically. There is a softkey Go After Loop (Cue x Execute, MoreSK, SK4)
