Goto Hidden List/Cue (Off Playback Bar)

Need some help here..

I am trying to run a cue from a cuelist, without the cuelist existing on any playback bars (only in the list directory) and I want to do this with command line only.

The following syntax will do this if the list resides on a playback master..
"Goto-3/1-enter" But I don't want to put the list on a master.

I have tried the following syntax with no luck...

"Goto-List-3/1-enter" This does not work as I get a red syntax line as soon as I hit "List".

"Goto-Cue-3/1-enter"... This doesn't work either..

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

JB

I don't think this is possible.
Isn't running the cuelist from the List directory less keystrokes than typing all that in the command line anyway?
What about loading the cuelist onto a Command Key?

I want to have a macro trigger a selection into the programmer AND run a specific cue at the same time, but I don't want to waste a master to do it.

The logical syntax "GL3/2" (Go List 3 cue 2) is a working command macro, so why don't we have the functionality to do the same thing from the raw command line?

I also don't understand why Goto List 3/1 isn't valid syntax. It seems pretty logical that this should work.

V1.2.0 perhaps?

Jeff,

Here's a possible workaround ...

1) Record the keystroke macro minus the Goto bits, Macro 1.
2) Record an empty cue into a new list, List 101.
3) Set the Macro in List 101 Cue 1 to fire both your keystroke macro (GK1) and your specified cue (GL3/2).
4) To recall the actions, type [b]LIST 101 ENTER[/b] or touch the list in the unguarded list directory.

Obviously it's a few extra steps, but it should get what you are after.

Thanks Louis,

That's a possible solution.

I wonder if the similar syntax, "goto-scene-3" gets a red syntax error as well.

Jeff,

Scenes can only store one cue so that syntax wouldn't work. You could substitute a Scene for the List in my workaround, however.

I knew that!!! Typo on my part. ;).

No, I'm curious if the goto command will fire a scene, or will it spit out an error just like the syntax "Goto List 1/3"?

Jeff,

Ah, I see ... you wouldn't need the [b]GOTO[/b] then. [b]SCENE 3 ENTER[/b] will fire scene 3 on a virtual master.

Louis,

Thanks for the ideas. The ability to fire a scene from the command line did the trick. Instead of one list with 8 cues, I had to make 8 scenes, then I could write the 8 macros, where each one will select certain fixtures and trigger its associated scene.

I still don't understand why we can't fire a cue in the list directory from the command line.

Any chance we can get this ability in the future?

Jeff,

Happy to help and glad you found a solution that works for you.

I agree adding syntax along the lines of "[b]GOTO LIST 3/2[/b]" or "[b]GOTO LIST 3 CUE 2[/b]" would be a useful feature.
