Clearing a Split Time Syntax

Hi

So it seems to me that the method of clearing a split time is backwards.

If I have a cue with a split time (let's say 4/6) and I want to change the time to an even 5 seconds, shouldn't I be able to just type [cue][#][time][5][*]? I would expect that command to clear the split time, but really it only changes the upfade time. 

If I wanted to just change the upfade time, I would type [cue][#][time][5][time][*]. Just like typing time [5][/] on an O2. In that scenario, I am acknowledging that there is a downfade time but that I don't want to change it.

Right? Is my logic backwards here, or is Eos's logic backwards?

EDIT: Also, I would expect that if I say [time][5][time][5][*] I would also effectively clear the split fade, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. It still shows me a split time, even though both sides are the same. Why would I want that? 

The 1.7 manual even says "If a cue is provided split fade times with no delay on either side, and those times are later the same values, the split time is cleared."

  • there used to be a way to type time thru 5 and clear the split time, but that also changes focus/color/beam time.  That doesn't always work, and I haven't figured out why sometimes it breaks the split time and why it sometimes doesn't.  The only sure way is to clear the time all together by hitting time enter, time 5.
