No, it did not made it into v3.3, but...

While it's difficult for me to understand theatre lighting people (it 
-looks- like they never know what they want :-), I did made a macro 
"reset":

On m1 it steps back 1 step with a fade rate of 16 (or 32, or 64) 
times the normal fade time.

The trick is to set the layer temporary to "Chase Up" mode with a 
speed of 16 or 32x, do a Go prev, and turn off Chase again. If you 
use "Go next" instead of previous you will be in next cue with n 
times the normal fade time.

If you click on the Go button while in "Chase Up" mode, it will take 
the chase speed in account. I know it's a kludge, but you can change 
the current fade time this way :-)

Tip: If you leave the layer in "Chase Up" mode, it will always follow 
the Chase fade speed with next Go.

Hmm, I have no idea why this is not working, but maybe because we 
also have a keystroke system in LCedit+.

I think it's very confusing.

Yep, video to DMX becomes a reality soon.
