Example:
Cue 4: Channels 1>100 are at 50, fixtures 1>9 (channels 731>739) are at full.
In Cue 5 Part 1: 1>100 are fading out in a 20 count
Part 2: Fixture 1>9 (channels 731>739) are fading out in a 10 count, then wait 2 seconds and FCB moves in a 2 count (delay 12).
In Cue 6 Part 1: 20>25 Fade up in a 5 count
Part 2: Fixture 1>9 (channels 731>739) are fading up in a 10 count (delay 5)
The problem is this: If the stage manager calls cue 6 BEFORE cue 5 completes, the values of fixture 1>9 will FREEZE at whatever point thay are in the fade out. Then, after the delay of 5 seconds commanded by Q6p2, they begin their appropriate fade commanded by CUE 6 PART 2.
This is totally unacceptable. Fixture 1>9 should continue their fade until the delay on Cue 6 Part 2 times out, and then begin their fade up. Without this there's no point in having a console capable of multiple fades or part cues.
If anyone else has experienced this and there's a workaround, please let me know. If there's a setting I'm missing on the console that would allow this to happen, please let me know, and that setting should be defaulted to ON.
