Release Current Cue List Macro?
Hello, can anyone help me with this one. I have created a cue list and saved it on one of the playbacks. I have noticed you can set a macro on a cue to release all playbacks. This is great but not good if you are busking a show when all your playbacks stop. lol. Is there a way of auto setting a cue list to release when it has reached the end and not release all of them. I don't want to manually release each cue list when busking. Any Ideas?

You will need to write your own macro for this (<Macro>, [Record], ...) as described in the manual, and can invoke this macro in the last step of your cuelist.
Please be aware macros are handle-based, hence the macro will function something like 'release playback xy', rather than 'release calling cuelist'. Thus, you might e.g. need a macro 'release handle 5', and a different one 'release handle 10' - but then, each such macro does its job on page 1 as well as on page 59.
Cool feature, really. Only thing you might run into: if the cuelist is on 'wait for go', the cuelist might be killed or released, but stays connected. Thus, the next 'Go' starts it again. I didn't find a way to circumvent this, maybe someone has an idea (will I have to have a dummy cuelist somewhere, and include connecting this one in my macros?).

Is this a Bug?
Does anyone know if this is a bug? When I save the show file with macros in cue lists and try an load the show again, the macros are not linked to the cue lists any more....I have to manually link them back up every time I load the show. Is there a way of saving and not having to do this? Or is this a bug and if so could we have a fix as soon as possible?

I am playing with macros for some time now and I think it would be nice to have a predefined macro for releasing or killing the current handle. I don't know if this can be implemented in Titan.
Reason for this : I can create a macro for releasing/killing a specific handle, but sometimes I like to move or copy cues/cuelists/chasers to another handle to have better layout after programming. What happens then is that the macro still releases/kills the orginal handle.
Anyway I hope macros can be saved very soon

Re: Release Current Cue List Macro?
Please add a release current playback macro.. Or rewrite the macro system... So frustrating!
Re: Release Current Cue List Macro?
Actually.. Just add something to the playback options to release the current playback at end of list or something.. with a time option.
These key based macros are a pita.. The macro defined in this thread works great unless you happen to be selecting another playback at the same time the macro is running.. It's literally harder to get macros to interfere with other keystrokes on my Scancommander and that thing was made in 1990.. Just saying.
So much I love about Titan but the macro system just needs a complete re-write imo. So completely frustrating.
