Multipart Cues

Something like this?

Wuz - any chance you could make this two picutres is there? I'm having trouble reading the smaller text. From what I can see this looks like a Multipart cue and I'd like to see the detials to compare with the Follow cue idea from Cody.

Don't worry about new pics - I managed to read it and put it in a spreadsheet for my desk notes.

This is what I think I see happening;

Cue 1 is a regular cue with some dimmers set and our ML Int at 60 with a focus set by CT (Is that a FP?)

Cue 2 last 5 seconds and sets up a 'Forward' F2.6. Is this 2.6 secs or ref to a cue 2.6?

P1 of 2 Apart from some dimmer changes we see our ML go to zero and the focus changes to TB

P2 of 2 Say the Movers fade out. But didn't this happen above?

P3 of 2 Now the movers move! Again see P1.

2.1 in this new cue (nothing to do with cue 2 above) the ML's intensity is set back up.

But - if the Fw/Hg F2.6 was ref to a cue 2.6 this would jump 2.1?

I suspect this is not perhaps the way things were entered but merely the way the spread sheet is showing us what happens. Clearly I have to learn how to plug this stuff in and get down to some serious reading here.

In a multipart Q, grey items change in a different Part.

Q2 P1

• Channels: 31 + 36 + 51 + 56 + 411
• fades the conventionals in 5 seconds.
• No action on the moving lights in this Part.

Q2 P2

• Channels: 601 - Intensity
• Fades the movers to 0 in 2.4 seconds

Q2 P3

• Channels: 601 - Focus + Colour + Beam
• Delays 2.6 seconds so the movers can fade out in Q2P2.    (should be 2.4 seconds)
• Focus, Colour, and Beam move in 0 seconds.

Q2.1

• Channels: 601 - Intensity
• Auto-follows Q2
• Fades in movers in 2.4 seconds

Total time to complete Q2 + Q2.1 = 5.0 seconds.

Does that help?

Oh yes it does, indeed.Thank you for going to all that trouble. All cut'n pasted into my notes, Today I was able to record a simple Follow, a Hang and a simple Multipart so the bits are coming together. With your notes I reckon I should have this  under control very soon now.

In Q2 P2 how was that delay of 2.6 and then the moves are to occur in 0 secs made? I'm finding a lot on Delay but mainly for Fanning where an incremental delay occurs. Still can't see where/how we say, once delay is complete then execute in 0 time.

Delay and Time are hard keys right next to the Shift key. You can apply both of them to a cue, or a part of a cue, or to specific channels/parameters for discrete timing. Syntax here would be Cue 2 Part 3 Delay 2.6 Time 0, though the order of applying a delay or a time to a cue doesn’t matter, and they can also be separate commands.

I've used the 'Time' before but wasn't sure how to wrap up it and the delay. Or if the zero execute meant cue time. I left early today to settle in for a good session to crack this stuff. We received 6 MLs this am. 4 of them have problems with their menus!!!
