Priorities

Marquee allows for 100 different priorities for use when you are playing back recorded items to the stage. Priorities apply to Cue Lists and Looks. The Properties box for each of these items has a number field where you can enter the desired priority. Regardless of the HTP vs LTP settings, Higher Priority items (lower number) will win.

The default priority of new Cue Lists is 10 and new for Looks it is 9. In complex show files, it is good practice to bump higher priority items up to numbers like 7 or 8, rather than straight to number 1. This will give you 'room to grow' as you add more important things, like fire-safety cues, at a later date. In architectural situations, you may want to build a 'base' look that is priority 90 or so, such that if all other playback items get released, this base look will take over.

Note:

Only one item can win. If there are two items writing to the stage and one is 9 and the other is 10, changing the #9 to a #1 will not make it win any better or faster!
