Track Sheets

As Marquee is, by nature, a tracking console, a useful tool for seeing the dynamics of a fixture is the Track Sheet. This popup windows can be seen by selecting Track Sheets from the Display Menu (or press [S5].

When you enter the dialog box, the Cue List combo box will be empty. Press [S1] to select the desired Cue List. As the cues are read into the Track Sheet, the progress and total number of cues retrieved will be displayed to the right of the Cue List combo.

All the fixtures in your show are displayed along in the rows, and the recorded cue in the selected Cue List are displayed in the columns. If a column header's text ends in "..." then there is more text to the cue's label than can't be displayed because of the width of the column. Either re-size the column by double clicking on the column separators, or hover over the text and a tool tip will display the entire cue label.

You can move around the display by using the horizontal and vertical scroll bars at the bottom and right hand side. If the attribute level has been tracking for a number of cues, and the cue that set its level is scrolled off the screen, the original cue number will appear in square brackets.

Fixture that have a plus symbol to their left have more attributes than just intensity. The intensity is displayed on the row, but if you want to examine the movements of the other attributes, just click on the plus symbol. The fixture will expand to show you the additional attributes.

If you see the green/magenta track symbol , in a moving light's intensity row, this is a clue that you might want to expand to see what attributes are changing. All other symbols in the grid are the same symbols used in the channel grid. A full description of what they mean can be found in the topic called Fixture Colors and Symbols.

The Track Sheet is a display only view.
