Cue Lists can be active (fading attributes by running cues, or driving fixtures by sitting in a cue) or released (not talking to any fixtures).
There are multiple was to release cue lists:
[SELECT] a cue list then press [REL-PB]
Press [\] on the QWERTY keyboard
Click the Release button on the Cue List Tool Bar.
Press [SHIFT] [REL-PB] or [SHIFT] [\] to release all cue lists.
Use a Macro to release a specified cue list.
Asserting a Cue List means making it fully active again. You will want to do this if another Cue Lists 'steals' attributes away from you and you want to regain control of them. To do this, press [SHIFT] [GO] (or [SHIFT] [SPACE]). The Cue List Pointer will not move, but the all attributes (including tracking ones) will fade to their correct value using the time set in Show Options.
Note:
You can also double click in the first column of the cue list on the desired cue.
Alternately, move the Blue Box to the first column, positioning it over the Cue List Pointer and press [EDIT].
