Editing Cue Information

Having created a reasonable number of cues, you may wish to edit some of the entries.

Renumbering Cues

First of all, it's possible that the auto numbering system (1 *, 2 *, 3 * etc ) has got out of
step. This will be simply because you have created further marks at earlier timecodes
than the initial marks. Events are always listed in ascending timecode; to reset the
numbers in ascending order, select Edit on the Events List and stab on the Renum box
(see opposite). Note that this will only put the numbers into the correct sequence, it
will not shuffle the actual marks or their names about in any way. If marks have been
deleted (see below), the remaining events will be renumbered to provide a continuous
sequence.

Renaming Cues

In addition to the NAME MARK button, cues can be named or renamed with the
Name function in the Events List Edit menu.
Stab on the Name box (it goes red) and then stab on the mark/cue you wish to name.
The QWERTY pop-up will appear. As before, use the dedicated QWERTY keyboard
for convenience or since the pen is in your hand, use it on the QWERTY pop-up. The
Name function will stay reselected for further naming/renaming. Deselect the box
when finished.
Deleting Cues
All events can be deleted with the exception of audio clip starts and ends. Select
Delete in the Edit menu and then stab on the event/cue you wish to delete. No
confirmation will be requested so make sure you know what you are doing! The
Delete function will stay reselected for further deletions. Deselect the box when
finished.

Moving Cues

When a cue is almost in the right place, you may wish to nudge its timecode value by a
few frames. Select Move in the Edit menu and then stab on the event/cue you wish to
move. The timecode pop-up (and mini Events List) will appear (see opposite); enter a
new time or nudge the existing time with the < or > frame jog boxes. Hit OK to effect
the change. The Move function will stay reselected in case you wish to adjust more
cues. Deselect the box when finished.
Entry of timecode, or nudging in seconds/frames, can also be carried out from the
front panel by using the numeric keypad and/or the cursor keys (see Section 1 for
more details).
Note that all of the above editing functions can be applied to other types of events,
with the exception of audio clip Starts and Ends which cannot be named, moved or
deleted, and Macro and Remote entries which cannot be named.
The Insert function in the Edit menu is used to enter macros into the events list. See
Section 8 for more details.
