Cancel previous Cue's duration

Hi Everyone.

Bit confused here. Using an ETC Gio, and in one cue, there is an initial fade over 2:30. It is through a relatively long scene, and basically we wanted the lighting to reduce to lower levels as the scene progresses. The time is never exactly 2:30 and we have to go to the next cue which is basically a black out. The only issue is, the lights used in the previous cue continue to fade out.

Basically, I want to know if there is anyway of cancelling the fade in the previous cue and just snapping to the next one when I press Go?

Cheers.

    as an explanation why this happens:

    Eos is a move-fade desk. this means channels will only move if they're explicitly told to do so, otherwise they'll just keep doing what they have been doing before.
    the way to tell a channel to move is with a move instruction. you can recognize them by the font color: intensities written in blue or green and non-intensitiy parameters written in blue are such move instructions. parameters written in magenta or white are not move instructions and as such will not cause a channel to move.

    in your case your slow fading channels have received a move instruction to fade in 2:30. but in the black out cue the have a magenta or white colored intensity. so they just keep on doing what they already have been doing, which is to fade out slowly.

    Assert will tell a cue to treat all its values as move instructions, no matter their font color.

    some commands include an assert, e.g. GoToCue. so if you use GoToCue to jump to a cue you will see that the magenta colored channels fade as well.
