Block shapes detail in playback view.

I'm creating a cue list comprising of three cues, one with a pan shape, one tilt shape, one circle. In between each cue is a another cue containing a Block P shape to stop the previous shape. This works fine but I see in the playback view (view shape column) a small switch appear besides the Tilt and pan shape icon labeled 'Block P Shape'. Switch positions are marked with a T and B.
What is the purpose of this switch and what does the T and B stand for?
Many thanks

T and B mean Track and Block and tell whether a shape from a previous cue is tracked into the next cue(s) or not. So basically in your case you should record your 3 cues (without block cues inbetween) and simply set the switch to B(lock) which prevents your Pan shape tracking into your Tilt shape etc
