"oops" scene

I will soon be programming a dance show on an iPC in hog 3 mode. I was playing around with the idea of an "oops" scene in case i accidently hit the clear button and clear out the programmer.

I created a scene that has the values for a particular group of lights(in my case the works) at full. i then set the parameters for the scene to LTP, an override of 10 with a persist on overide, and default timing of 0 seconds.

for the most part this worked out alright, i programmed the lights elsewhere at 0%, or anything other than full and when i hit clear, they came right back to full.

the interesting part is when i recored a cue without changing the works, they didnt record.

anycase thats my 2 cents. If anyone has a better way for doing this, please let me know. Im always up for something new.
