macro cues?

Hey everyone,
I've been experimenting with a macro and I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I want to do this:
at the end of a cuelist on page 1 I want a macro that will run at the end of the cuelist that will go to the next page, release the current cuelist on fader 16 and press Go on the cuelist of fader 16 on the next page. all of my fade times will make it work nicely. but the problem is it will get me to the next page and stop.

any ideas?

    i would guess that your macro sequence is stopping after the first instruction because the subsequent instructions don't have their Wait set to Follow.

    if your macro cues are at the end of the actual cuelist that you're intending to release (as opposed to being in a separate list, in the Macros Directory), then you may be seeing the macro sequence stopping after the release instruction, because when a list is released it stops taking follow cues, even if they're macro cues.


    personally, i'd approach with a Comment Macro: add one blank cue to the end of your list and put into the comment box:
    >P2:R16:G16


    do know that you can "Learn" your desired actions into a macro, and then open it to view the steps that were recorded to get an idea of how macro cues work.
