How (without playing patch and count) can you EASILY know which of the (multiple) fixtures are single parts and which are compound in the fixture schedule. I was under the impression it was fixtures with some sort of (indication in parentheses ) but that doesn't ring true for all. For instance, the HES SHOWPIX. It says SHOWPIX standard. I just think its confusing not to have some indicator. I've changed types multiple times with some fixtures not sure which is which.
Additionally, there should be some sort of notation of the sub-channel type in the programmer (similar to the show part details in patch) so you can see what part is what type. For example, on the Mbox, I see 7 subsets, and can't tell which is the shutter, vs layer, without going into the patch window again.
