I am working on a show with conventional lights only. While programming, I had to check on a Vari-Lite so I saved and made a new project with one VL6. When done, i quit LCedit without saving and loaded the conventionals show.
Now, when dimmer 2 fades (in or out), dimmer 3 jumps up and down, although in the cue it's value is zero. Same thing with dimmer 4 (channel 5 jumps). It seems that the high bit of pan and tilt are causing this. So far the only solution i've found is to erase the LanBox.
Is there another way of preventing this?

It's a feature! When you place a 16bit moving head on the stage, the pan and tilt channels of the moving head are automatically set to 16bit. If you create a new project, but do not clear the box, all global settings and cues are still there in the box. (remember LCedit+ is just a tool to configure the box).

If you don't want to erase the box, you can set/clear 16bit channels in the "Global setting".

The easiest way when you start another project is; save your current project, and make a full backup of your box before erasing.
