[Fix 11.9.7] Bug Report for SCS 11.9.6

[Onstage Theatre]

I've discovered a queuing bug in SCS 11.9.6.

I don't know how long it's existed, but I've just encountered it, since we've just started using 'Cue Markers' CMs.

I email a sample show for you to do testing on.

Description of Sample Show: Queuing Error

SCS v. 11.9.6

• Que 1 Starts Sound 1.
• Que 1 also has a Sub-que to adjust the volume at a "Cue Marker" (CM).
• Que 2 Stops Sound 1 and Starts Sound 2
• Ques 3 thru 6 are just present to complete the demo.

Here's the bug:

• Start playing Cue 1
• Activate Cue 2 BEFORE Cue 1 reaches the "Cue Marker" (CM)

Sound 1 Stops and Sound 2 Starts, BUT SCS sets the 'Next Manual Cue' BACK to Cue 1.

• When you press 'Space' to activate Cue 3, Cue 3 Does activate, BUT Que 1 starts playing AGAIN!

NOTE: If you allow Cue 1 to play to the CM, the problem does not occur.

Thanks for the email you sent, Dave. I've replied with a version that fixes the error.

The error was that Q2's SFR 'stop all earlier cues' didn't complete the level change sub-cue Q1<2> because it had not yet started. In the version I've emailed you the link for, this type of SFR cue will now 'complete' all sub-cues of earlier cues.

Yay, SFR "Stop ALL previous" is fixed when there are sub-cues.

However, if you change "Stop ALL" to stop a "SPECIFIC" sound file, it needs to be fixed there too.

Instructions in an e-mail back to you.

I'm grateful for the quick fix for "All."

We have a production that kept restarting music, and our new sound person thought it was her fault. I told her, "nope," just a small bug we can work around for now.

Dave,

As I've emailed you, the change I made is correct for both SFR types. The problem you encountered regarding stopping a "SPECIFIC" sound file is that your SFR cue was now referring to a specific sub-cue of Q1, not to the whole cue. So the second sub-cue of Q1 was excluded from the specified action. If you change the action to point to the cue Q1 then the SFR works as you want it to.

You're awesome, Mike, and I thank you for your speed fixes!
