while i'm fading from cue 1 to 2 in a long time (let's say 5:00min), I want another light to fade in at a specific moment (seperate cue) and fade out again (another seperate cue). Is this possible in the same cuelist? For instance by creating an empty cue that only triggers (executes) a cue in another cuelist. I tried to create an empty cue but all values from previous cue went to 0.
That's absolutely possible! And you don't even need fancy constructions with Execute.
Eos follows the move-fade philosophy so channels only move if they're told to. Unless they receive a new move instruction they just keep doing what they are already doing, no matter if they are static or if they are currently changing because a previous cue told them to.
Consider this example. You're in cue 1 and press Go for cue 2. Channel 1 will fade in over a time of 5 minutes. While this transition is still going on you press Go for cue 3. Channel 1 doesn't receive a new instruction (the magenta font color means that this is nothing new) and will continue its fade, while channel 2 will do its fade in 5 seconds.
For this to work cue 3 must not carry an Assert flag.
