Concepts and Overview
Part cues
Complex shows need more advanced timing options. If you split a cue into different
Parts, you can have different timing for different groups of Channels without writing
additional cues. When working on a show, you build a cue, which is a singular look
on stage and later you decide how you are going to get from one cue to another.
1. Goto the cue in which you want to alter the timing parameters
2. Select the Channels that need to be assigned to a different part
3. Press the [S11]Cue Parts button to open the cue part dialog box
4. Select the button for the desired part
5. The Channels will show a superscript letter showing the part:
6. Continue with Steps 2 through 5 until you have assigned all Channels
to their correct part
7. Press [UPDT] [ENTER]
8. Use the Blue Box to alter timing on the main part or any additional
parts:
Note:

The main cue part is always Part A (in this case labeled
'Dinner')
Cues need not be made up of parts in specific order. You can
have a cue that has just Part A and Part G
Palette supports 26 parts. Press [S12] and roll the wheel to
select parts greater than Part K then press [ENTER] to close
the dialog box.
Independent Timing
The limitations of the above two methods are that all the Channels in each cue part
must use the same attribute family timing and further still, individual attributes within
a family are forces to use the same time. Independent Timing frees you of these
limitations.
