Renumber Cue Lists

My Tech numbered his cue list 1, 2, 3, .......100 etc!

We know we can intersperse new cues with decimals (eg. 1.5, 1.5.5 etc) values but I think I read a while back that ETC were looking for a way to be able to renumber such a list to say, 10,20,30 . . . 1000. Is this still on the books somewhere?

Way back in the dim past I remember being able to do this to long gone computer programs (Fortran BASIC) that used line numbers.

I cannot understand why this is not a development priority. It would be such a relief to not see operators almost break down, get sweaty palms, and twitch their eyes in pure despair when the designer asks…

This code solves the problem. If you don't have a Python environment, just download Blender and run it from its text editor. Will work.

Only works on whole number cues, let me know if you want decimal cues too.

import time
import socket

OSC_IP_ADDRESS = "192.168.1.9"
OSC_PORT = 8000


def send_udp(osc_addr, addr, port, string):
    def pad(data):
        return data + b"\0" * (4 - (len(data) % 4 or 4))

    if not osc_addr.startswith("/"):
        osc_addr = "/" + osc_addr

    osc_addr = osc_addr.encode() + b"\0"
    string = string.encode() + b"\0"
    tag = ",s".encode()

    message = b"".join(map(pad, (osc_addr, tag, string)))
    try:
        sock.sendto(message, (addr, port))

    except Exception:
        import traceback
        traceback.print_exc()

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)


def lighting_command(command):
    send_udp("eos/newcmd", OSC_IP_ADDRESS, OSC_PORT, command)


def expand_integer_cues(current_cue_list, new_cue_list, start_cue, end_cue, factor):
    for i in range(start_cue, end_cue):
        lighting_command(f"Cue {current_cue_list} / {i} Copy_To Cue {new_cue_list} / {i*factor} Enter Enter")
        time.sleep(.3) # Give Eos time to keep up
        
        
expand_integer_cues(1, 2, 1, 100, 10)
