Pressing EDIT CUE will display this screen:

LEVEL
Page 118
This field is not accessible and it shows the number of cues
currently selected.
This field is also not accessible and shows the entire length
of the cue(s) selected or the length of the edit region.
This field shows the name of the currently selected cue(s).
It also allows you to rename the cue(s). To do this, move
the cursor to this field and press the NAME key and enter a
ten character name using the track select keys. Press
EXECUTE to complete the name and EXECUTE again to
rename the cue. If you are using an external PC keyboard,
move the cursor to this field and simply start typing - there
is no need to press the NAME key. Press RETURN to
complete the name and RETURN again to rename it.
If only one track is selected for edit, you will, of course, only
rename that one cue. If more than one track is selected
(for example, when editing a stereo cue across two tracks),
the name of the cue on the lowest numbered track will be
shown. Naming stereo or multiple cues will cause all the
cues selected to share the same name.
If no cues are selected when you enter EDIT CUE, this field
will display * NO CUES *. If you try to name this, you will
receive the pop-up prompt:
This shows the cue's 'original' time (i.e. the actual time in
the project where it was originally recorded). This field is not
accessible and is for information only.
You may set the level of the cue(s) in this field. Actually,
there is no need to specifically move the cursor to this field
as the fader is always active for setting levels when this
page is open. You may, however, like to input data
numerically or using the DATA +/- keys if the level
adjustment you require is particularly fine (i.e. -3.5dB)
where setting it manually from the slider may be a bit
awkward. To do this, move the cursor the LEVEL field and
type in a number as appropriate.
