Copying Cue Labels to Notes

Question

Hi All, 
 
 I'm wondering if there is a way of copying the contents of a Cue's Label Field to Notes ? 
 Basically I would like to label the cues in a different way, but not lose the current information attached to each cue, so for a Client I would display Notes rather than labels .... 
 As far as I can tell, whenever I hit the label key I enter a text window, so commands like CopyTo or RecallFrom don't work. Am I missing something obvious. 
 Maybe there is some way involving a CSV ? 
 It strikes me this would be a useful future addition to give different Users text fields associated with a cue ... 
 Many thanks 
 James

You aren't missing something obvious. 
 You can export to ASCII from the browser, edit the file, and re-import into the show file. 
 Before you export, you will want to put in placeholder notes so you know where to paste in the labels, e.g. "CUE1NOTE" 
 If you are only doing a few cues, it's a lot faster to just do it the old-fashioned way and type in your notes individually. 
 Rather than give different users different text fields, it would be better to have a cue database just like the patch database. The cue database would have different text fields and then each user would be able to choose which fields to display in the PSD and magic sheets.
