Am I doing something wrong or...

is this normal?

I am running our service off of one main cuelist...during that cue list I have a macro (GL...) to trigger another cuelist that is a chase. Whenever I advance to another cue in that main list, the chase stops. Well, it doesn't actually "stop", I just can't see it anymore. The chase is still running but the main cuelist took control of the lights back, so they stop chasing. I figured my way around this by adding another Macro into each cue that I want the chase to continue but the problem is, its throwing off the timing of the chase. Is there a better way around this? Basically, when I trigger a chase via a macro, I want it to continue until I send it a release macro.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank!

    Those lights start out on the main list, then when it gets to the chase part, the chase list changes the intensity, color and starts the effect. When I advance a cue on the main list, I'm not changing anything with those lights but it grabs them back...I'm assuming because it is a tracking console and its just reactivating the lights back to where I had them at the beginning. I was trying to figure out if there is a way to make the chase list have priority...it keeps controls of the lights until I release that cuelist because eventually, I need those lights to be controlled again by the main list. Of course, maybe that not possible and I just need to have several lists.
