Hello David,

Now with 2.06 we have the clock function that allows me to initialise the clock to 0 and then hold until a time is reached. Is this a reasonable use for the clock function? I don't want it to stop working in the middle of a show...

Yes sure, as long as you don't synchronize it via NTP it's use is free.


Below is an example scene coded this way...The clock is set to base channel 1040 in global settings.
NB: I found that I need to clear the layer in order to start the clock running after setting it. Is this correct?

Yes, it's set once the channels are cleared.

  clear layer

This is the correct way, as when you hit the space bar, the clock starts running.

If you can generate MTC, you can also use the MTC clock for the music parts.

Above is a nice example of a clean show control cue!
