We had this discussion already a while ago and I have a tour where a function like this would be very useful:
I would like a scene to be a cue in a cuelist. I do not want to copy the scenes contents to a cue but have a link to the scene.
I could then change the scene, including the lamps I use etc. (thats why i can't use palettes) and would have all my cuelists updated.
This would be a very easy way to get the houselights into a show on tour:
I'm touring with my strobes, LEDs and movinglights on the floor and the show in my desk and need just some specials out of the houselights:
a blue wash, a blinder-cue, a red wash..., maybe fast and slow strobes.
Of course I could use "change type" and clone lamps and such, but as my "blue wash" could be a bunch of PARs today, a few Movers tomorrow and maybe RGB-LEDs tomorrow, using scenes for that would be just way easier if you only need 4 or 5 things, but use them over and over in your show...
any comments on this? I can't find the old thread, but maybe there is already a feature request # for that?
