Concepts and Overview
HTP (Highest Takes Precedent) vs. LTP (Latest Takes
Precedent)
LTP
Intensities can be resolved either HTP (Highest Takes Precedent) or LTP (Latest
Takes Precedent).
If multiple controls (Sub Masters or Cue Lists) are attempting to control the same
attribute, the last one to move it will win. For example, if one cue sets a level to 75%,
then another one is executed and it sets it to a level of 50%, the attribute will go to
50%.

Channel Masters are always HTP.
Cue Lists and Sub Masters can be either HTP or LTP as determined by
their properties.
Palette's Latest Takes Precedence cue lists do not get automatically
released when other cues take full control of all the attributes used in
them. Their values are still valid and if the domineering 'more recent' cue
list gets released, the values from the original cue list will get a chance to
write to the stage again. Some may refer to this domineering behaviour
as Stomping and the behaviour of re-writing to the stage after the
release as Persist on Override.
for a LTP Cue List or Sub Master to gain control , the losing control must
also be LTP (i.e., not marked HTP).
If multiple controls (Sub Masters or Channel Masters or Cue Lists) are writing to an
intensity attribute, the one with the greatest value will win. The exception to this rule
is if a control with a higher priority is wanting it to go to a lower level, it will win.
