Cue Programming

Use this skill when the operator needs to build or manage cue sequences, trigger cues, navigate the cue grid, or set up pages and tabs for a show.

Workflow — Building a cue sequence

1. Navigate to the right page/tab.

   • select_page index — jump to a page
   • select_tab_by_name name — or select tab by name
   • select_category_by_name name — filter by content category

2. Focus and trigger cues.

   • focus_cell page, cue — focus on a specific cell
   • start_cell — start the focused cell
   • Or use name-based: start_cue_by_name name

3. Control playback.

   • pause_cue page, cue, 1 — pause a running cue
   • pause_cue page, cue, 0 — unpause
   • restart_cue page, cue — restart from beginning
   • stop_cue_now page, cue — immediate stop
   • stop_cue_sync page, cue, fade — stop with fade

4. Navigate cue grid.

   • cue_down / cue_up — move selection
   • shift_focus direction — shift by offset
   • move_focus dx, dy — move by delta
   • focus_cell_index index — jump to linear position

5. Set cue mode for the situation.

   • set_cue_mode_single — one cue at a time (safe for busking)
   • set_cue_mode_one_per — one per group (layer-based)
   • set_cue_mode_multi — multiple simultaneous (complex shows)

Workflow — Live show operation

1. Set click behavior for the session.

   • click_mode_select — standard selection
   • click_mode_flash — momentary trigger
   • click_mode_toggle — toggle on/off
   • click_mode_live — live performance mode

2. Set transitions.

   • set_transition_type index — select transition effect
   • set_master_transition_time seconds — set crossfade duration

3. Trigger cues by name.

   • start_cue_by_name "intro_beams"
   • start_cue_by_name "verse_tunnels"
   • stop_cue_by_name "intro_beams"

4. Quick stop.

   • unselect_all_cues — deselect everything
   • stop_all_sync fade — graceful stop with fade
   • stop_all_now — emergency stop (destructive)
