Fixtures removed from a cue only cue within a cue list with Cue Release enabled may not be released.
Repro as follows -
- Start new show
- Patch 4 x Clay Paky Arolla Spot MP 29 DMX
- Create a 2 cue list
- Cue 1 - containing fixtures 1 THRO 4 with Magenta at 100% all other attributes default
- Cue 2 - containing fixtures 1 THRO 3 with Magenta at 100% all other attributes default
- Cue 1 - containing fixtures 1 THRO 4 with Magenta at 100% all other attributes default
- <Exit> <Clear>
- <Open/View> {PLAYBACK 1} and set tracking of both cues to [Cue Only]
- Set PLAYBACK 1 Options -> Release -> Cue Release to Enabled/On
- Set <Clear> option [Clear Selected Fixtures On]
- Remove fixture 1 from Cue 2
- <Include> {PLAYBACK 1} 2 <Enter>
- 1 <Enter> <Clear>
- <Record> <Cue> 2 [Replace]
- <Include> {PLAYBACK 1} 2 <Enter>
- 1 <THRU> 4 [Locate] <Clear> (provides a state to "Release" to)
- <Go> twice on {PLAYBACK 1} to assert Cue 2
- Observe, magenta on fixture 1 remains at 100% showing fixture is not released even though fixture 1 is no longer present in Cue 2
Note - This issue depends on two conditions
- Tracking method is changed to [Cue Only] after being recorded rather than being originally recorded as Cue Only
- Fixtures are removed via the [Clear Selected Fixtures On] method
Workaround - After removing fixtures, copy the cue and delete the original
- Connect to Cue List
- <Copy> <Cue> 2 <Enter> <Enter>
- <Delete> <Cue> 2 <Enter> <Enter>
