Macro Mania!

Is there a variable that points to the current cue's number I can use in a macro?

Say I'm in 61 and want to create 61.1 from it after I move the INT of my MLs to zero. They are in group 1

So my macro might look like;  [Group] [1] [Out] [Record] [Cue] {Variable with current cue # it} + .1 [Time] [0] [Follow] [2] [Enter]

  • If you don’t specify a cue in the macro editor, then it either selects the current cue (In Live) or the selected cue (In Blind). Since you used the record button in the macro in your post, I’ll assume you’re working in Live, which would result in remarkably similar syntax to what you were trying:

    [Group] [1] [Out] [Record] [Cue] [.] [1] [Time] [0] [Follow] [2] [Enter]

    If you want to do the same thing in Blind, you would just have to change the order to do a similar thing (With the cue you want to add a .1 to already selected):

    [Cue] [.] [1] [Enter] [Enter] [Group] [1] [@] [0] [CueOnly?] [Cue] [Time] [0] [Follow] [2] [Enter]

    This is limited to recording the exact cue number + decimal that you specify, so it will always be Cue N.1, as opposed to starting at N.1 and being able to record N.2 or being in N.3 and recording N.31. As far as I know, there isn’t a way to use decimals with Next as Wuz suggests, unfortunately.
