Re: release macro
In general the task 'remove some parameters from a playback' is one of my famous ones when doing trainings, as there are so many ways to do it:
- select the fixtures in the cue, set colour to Off, merge into the cue
- quick include, clear colour attributes, store/replace
- advanced include (all attributes except colour), store/replace
- open cue in cue view and set colour to off there
Probably there are some more.
However creating a usable macro for this is not really possible, neither by recording nor by writing: currently there is no way to create macros which you then can call to edit multiple playbacks: universal/variable references are not supported (which I personally miss so much). I.e. you can create a macro which removes colour from playback xy. But it will always work on playback xy. There is no way to let it work on playbacks ab thru xy.
