Copy Cue Labelling

There are two methods that are similar but not exactly the same:

[Cue] 1 [CopyTo] [Cue] 3 {Levels Only} [Enter] [Enter]
This will copy the channel level, but neither the label nor the timing.

[Cue] 3 [CopyTo] [Cue] 1 {Label Only} [Enter] [Enter]
[Cue] 1 [CopyTo] [Cue] 3 [Enter] [Enter]
This will first copy the label you want to keep to the cue you'll be copying from and then copies the cue in the other direction.

I'm using ELEII and tried this using both [Only Levels] and [Scene Only] in both Live and Blind but can't get it to work. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Not {Scene Only}, use {Labels Only}.

[Cue] 1 [CopyTo] [Cue] 3 {Levels Only} [Enter] [Enter]
This will copy the channel level, but neither the label nor the timing.

This one did not work for me! All was copied inc labels and notes.

The X2 method below worked well so that I ended up with the contents of cue 3 in 1 along with 3's label and notes.

[Cue] 3 [CopyTo] [Cue] 1 {Label Only} [Enter] [Enter]
[Cue] 1 [CopyTo] [Cue] 3 [Enter] [Enter]
This will first copy the label you want to keep to the cue you'll be copying from and then copies the cue in the other direction.

[Cue] 1 [CopyTo] [Cue] 3 {Levels Only} [Enter] [Enter]
This will copy the channel level, but neither the label nor the timing.

Method 1 still works reliably for me, i checked in both Eos and Element mode. If you find some time maybe you want to give it a try again. If it doesn't I would need your software version, the context while you're running this command (Live, Blind, ...) as well as log files, and a showfile each from before and after the copy.

I'm using Ele2 at 3.2.7 Build 18. I'm still not able to copy a cue without the labels and notes.

I'm using my computer at home. I'll try it on the console at work. Note the "Levels Only" in the example given compared to the "Only Levels" of my hard and soft keys!

Method 1 still not working for me (at home anyway). I wrote a Macro for second method which worked very well.  The problem is that I have to wait input to manually enter 3 again for 1 and but then 1 and 3 as macros don't have variables (at this time but seems to be some interest way down the line).

I know this seems to be at my end. But continued trying does not produce any different results. I.E. The contacts of the cue are copied are copied as expected but so are the label and notes.

I'm attaching my experimental show file in case anyone want to look inside for a screw up on my part.

Cue Copying 2024-06-11 10-15-29.esf3d

I think I see what is happening. The Label is not copied over from one cue to the next, but the Notes are copied over. I would think that if you choose {Levels Only} Labels and Notes will not be copied, but apparently only Labels are left alone.

Hm! I'm going to try this on the console tomorrow. The instructions given work for other folks so it may be my setup at home.
