[Mod 11.8.2.1] Jumping / selecting Cue Markers

Post by howartp » Sat Dec 07, 2019 3:48 am

Having just upgraded to 11.8.2 and read the release notes, i've (re-?)discovered Cue Markers.

Is it possible to jump to them within the main window, ie during rehearsals, other than dragging the position marker or setting up a bunch of Set Position cues?

I've set Cue Markers for each verse/chorus in a song so when the choreographer wants to jump to a section to re-run it, I know where to jump to, but it would be great to jump to one.

I can't see the Left/Right keys doing anything in the main window with a cue selected, so those would be great shortcuts to jump forward/back through cue markers.

I've been considering this and have had other requests for this feature. I'll look into adding extra keyboard shortcuts for jumping forward/backward cue markers and/or providing a navigation menu item to skip to a selected cue marker. Note that if you have more than one audio file currently playing then these actions would be available only on the audio file cue most recently started and still playing, and which contains at least one cue marker.

Excellent.

During rehearsals we'd only typically play one song at once, so what you mention would be ideal for us.

SCS 11.8.2.1 now contains keyboard shortcuts for 'skip to previous cue marker' and 'skip to next cue marker'. The default shortcut keys are Ctrl+9 and Ctrl+0 respectively. (See 'Audio File Cue Points and Markers' in the Help for more information.)

Awesome!

I better get listening and setting the markers; i've only got them on about 3 tracks yet! :)
