sequential editing - feature req (in SCS 9)

Just did a show that had a lot of music under scenes. There were lots of cues followed immediately by fade-down cues after 10 seconds, so the music would start audibly, then go way down into the background for the remainder of a scene.

It would be really great to be able to edit one cue, then on the edit panel have a "next" and "previous" button to go to the next/previous cue to edit it. Also, an "apply" button on the panel would allow me to go to a cue, edit, apply the change, go to the next cue, set the fade, etc. It would have saved a lot of jumping in and out of the edit panel manually, and lots of time with the stage manager in the house back-n-forth while we set levels. Setting the levels of a long cue list was very time-consuming.

Thanks for listening.

BTW, I've been a customer for a while. Recently upgraded to 8.4.3. In this show, nobody I worked with had ever seen SCS before, and they were blown away by how cool it is -- cross fades, overlapping cues, ease of use for the sound-op during shows, etc. Thanks so much!

Sorry for the delay in replying to this, but what you are asking for is coming in SCS 9, although it will be implemented slightly differently.

Cue editing will be done in a Production Editor that will enable you to edit as many cues as you wish before returning to the main screen. Also, on the main screen, if you manually adjust the level and/or pan of a cue you will be able to click a 'Save Settings' button and immediately save the new level and/or pan without having to go into the editor.

Thanks! This sounds like it will do what I want. Looking forward to version 9!
