Pause and auto-start cues (fix in 11.1.1)

I think this may have been covered before, but one major inconvenience I found is that when I pause a playing cue (Pause all), the auto-start cues keep counting down. I sometimes have a long sequence of auto-start cues that send MIDI control to my mixer to do various things timed to the music track. I have started using "before-end" cues which seem to work even when advancing thru the playing track, but those are harder to comprehend on the screen (220s before end is how many minutes and seconds?). Anyway, having a Pause command or option to pause all countdowns would be nice. When trying to slowly go thru cues in tech rehearsals and adjust settings, I need everything to freeze while I adjust and save mixer presets (sometimes even routing sound to different speakers).

p.s. Is there any way that markers in the WAV file can be used to trigger cues? Now that would be very nice as often cues are timed to certain beats and I find the time within a waveform editor. If I could just lay down a marker and use it...that would be sweet.

Seems like a bug.

Interesting idea! Feature request.

Yes...please set it on the list. I think it would be a great feature to start other audio/video cues or midi cues to trigger a lightning console. Could be an alternative to MTC till it's implemented...! ;-)
