[In 11.2.1] cue panel display

[newlifedrama]

I have a minor request, in the upper cue display panel, SCS seems to center the next manual cue vertically. My problem is sometimes I have very long sequences of 20-30 auto-start cues across 2 or 3 music tracks that are all timed and auto-started. So after I start the first one, SCS scrolls down to the next manual cue, and about a dozen of my autostart cues disappear off the top of the screen. It would be nice to see them, and I don't dare move my mouse and scroll the display for fear of accidentally pressing a button somewhere. So... either a change or an option to center the upper screen on the next auto-start of manual-start cue would be nice.

Hi

Could you not make the cues 'Exclusive'. that way you could safely use your mouse and nothing else would fire until the cue and sub cues had finished.

I think most are exclusive (if they can be), but I still don't like having to move the mouse , I could by accident lose focus, or click on a cue further down which might mark many others as completed. I also might be busy adjusting faders on live mics. Regardless of my aversion to moving the mouse, I think it would be nice for SCS to keep the cue that is going to occur next, whether manual or auto, on the screen. Eventually as these auto-start cues complete, the next manual cue will appear.

p.s. I often push my mouse to the side , and use a little USB numeric keypad, so I have room for my script in front of me.

Hi Gary,

i think this is where the lower display is for. it shows what SCS is doing, and the upper display shows what you can or should do.
In my shows, the autostart cues are hidden and do not show up in the upper display to prevent me of hitting a cue by mistake.
But in the lower display i can see what and when is going on.

greetings,
Uwe

SCS 11.2.1 has a new Production Property that enables you to set the focus to the 'Cue Currently Playing' instead of to the 'Next Manual Cue'. See Production Properties - Run Time Settings for more information.
