[LCtalk] composing scenes from different queues (continued)

[MisterJ]

Hi

I recently posted a mail to ask someting about composing scenes out of 
different queues. I had an answer to that mail that allready gave me 
some ideas, but I have some questions left. (I'm sorry for not refering 
to the previous mail directly, but I am in another location right now, 
and do not have access to the previous mail).

I do not want to make my theatre-show to complex, so I just like to know 
if what I'm asking is possible, and if it is possible a little example 
would be nice ;) In my previous question I wanted a bit too much at the 
same time, I'm afraid.

Just pressume I have to queues 201 and 202. In 201 there is one active 
channel (100%) and in 202 also (but anotherone).

Now I would like to compose this two channels into one scene, using 
different layers (or another technique, but layers seem to be made for 
this).

I also want crossfades from one scene to another, and this seems to be 
the problem because not all channels are active.

So I would like this to happen:

- start from a blackout (queue 200 for example)
- crossfade in 3s to 201 (no problem)
- crossfade in 3s to 202 (problem: 202 is faded in, but 201 is not faded 
out)
- crossfade in 3s to 201 and 202 (thus a combination in different layers).

What is the most simple way to do this?

thanks in advance,
Jan
