Editing in the Channel Attributes display
Channels not patched to fixtures may be fully edited in the Channel
Attributes display. 29 Use [Thru], [And] and [Except] if you wish to select
multiple channels. If a channel is patched to a fixture, only the channel
label may be edited in the Channel Attributes display.
Independent channels
A channel is normally controlled by the Grandmaster, Flash, Release, Solo,

Flipped channels
Two lights can be made to work in opposite directions if the output of one
of them is flipped. For example, if a flipped conventional light and a normal
conventional light both are recorded to a submaster, one will brighten and
the other darken as the submaster slider is moved. Use the procedure
