Highlighting Cues
in CueList
FocusTrack can be used to keep track of your cue list
- if you import your show from a Strand console the
cuelist will be imported automatically since
FocusTrack needs it to keep track of which lights are
used in which cues.
You can use this as your working cue list. To make it
more readable you might want to add highlights to let
you pick out the start of scenes or songs. You can do
this manually: click on one of the two check-boxes to
the left of the cue.
However, you can also have FocusTrack highlight cues
automatically if you've distinguished them in any way
in your cue text - perhaps by adding '---' before the
cue text for cues at the start of each scene.
Click on either 'Auto Sc Brk' (for blue highlighting)
or 'Auto Sub Sc' (for cyan highlighting). FocusTrack
will ask you what the distinguishing text is:
Type the text that you use to distinguish cues, then
press OK. FocusTrack will highlight each of these
cues for you, giving you an easy way to spot scene
breaks in the cuelist.
