Do you have an idea why some starters don't understand initially the concept of selecting fixtures, set all DMX vales and do an "add step" in order to create a cue?
because this is not what they learned from other software!

the normal chain is:

create new file - do something within the file - save file

yr chain is:

do something with a file that don't exist - create the file averwards - save the file.
No, no. It's the same with us:

1. Create cuelist by filling the cuelist # and clicking on the Edit Button. This make a new clean file if it's not existing.

2. Select your fixtures and set them all to the values.
3. Add this cue to the cuelist


btw its not a problem only starters have, i normally loose almost every first stage of a new cuelist with yr concept.
That's (I think), as when the cuelist exists, it does not load the first step automatically. You have to hit Go next first before changing a cue.


it would be better when the command create new cuelist gives "new cuelist, stage 1" and not only "blank cuelist"
But then you can't use Add, or you will have a blank step 1;-)

I think our "New cuelist" is ok, but Edit an existing cuelist could be improved by jumping to the first step after clicking the Edit button.
