[LCtalk] The unusual numbers

[Paul Carver]

This is more a curiosity question than anything, but what's the story 
behind the rather unusual numbering sequence for things like fade times and 
hold times? Why a drop down list instead of just allowing text entry?

Even when I control-click in the cuelist and type a number LCEdit+ changes 
my number to something on its list.

I don't have any immediate need, but if I wanted a fade to run longer than 
15 minutes, what's the best way to acheive that? Manually calculate an 
intermediate cue?



PS. I can't say often enough how great the Lanbox is. I was playing around 
with it last night using a control cue to change chase speed of a different 
cuelist running in a different layer. The UI is complicated but I've mostly 
got the hang of it now and it's really capable of some very complex things.
