Multiple Cue Lists allow the console to operate completely separate and asynchronous cue lists simultaneously. This is useful if you want to have an effect running on one cue list to keep it separate from the cues in the main cue list, or if the console was controlling the lighting in a main theater as well as a space in the theater lobby, an individual cue list for each space could be developed and operated at the same time to run completely different cues.
Note:
Marquee supports an unlimited number of Cue Lists.
Using the Cue List Properties, Cue Lists can be given different names as well as different colored backgrounds to help visually differentiate one from another. Individual cue lists can be locked to prevent unauthorized modifications to cues. Cue Lists can be assigned a Priority and can be resolved either using a Highest Takes Precedence method or a Latest Takes Precedence method.
The Cue List Directory appears above the Cue List Display and shows all the cue lists in your show.
The Fixture Grid display normally has a black background color. When fixtures are being controlled by another cue list (i.e., the one that is not selected), the levels will be displayed with a dark blue background:
The Attribute Grid always has light background. Attributes being controlled by other cue lists appear with blue text:
Note how one fixture with multiple attributes can be controlled by more than one cue list at a time. Attributes that are at their default levels are shown in grey text.
