Promotion and demotion of cues to/from sub-cues:

[d_korman]

It would be very useful to be able to promote and demote cues, i.e., to demote a cue to be a sub-cue of the preceding (by default) cue, or to promote a sub-cue to create a new top-level cue following the cue from which it has been promoted.

Also, it would be good to be able to copy a sub-cue and paste it as a full cue, and vice-versa

I often find myself in two minds about whether to make an effect a sub-cue or a stand alone, and sometime it's not clear which is best until the tech rehearsal. It would be great to be able to quickly move a cue between top and sub leve - similar to promoting/demoting lines in a multi-level numbered list in MS Word (though wit only 2 levels, of course).

You can already do the first part of your request. See the horizontal arrows to the left of the cue list in the Editor.

The second part of the request is therefore also quite easy as you can copy and paste a cue or a sub-cue to create a duplicate, and then use the appropriate arrow button to the left of the cue list to convert this duplicate from a cue to a sub-cue or vice versa. The up and down arrow buttons assist in moving cues and sub-cues up and down the cue list.

For more info, go to the SCS Help and view The Editor / Moving Cues and Sub-Cues, and Changing Sub-Cues to Cues or Vice Versa.

Thanks Mike - hadn't notice those buttons, I was looking for the option by right-clicking on the cue, alongside the copy and paste options - ie "paste as new sub-cue". "paste as new cue". "promote to cue" , "demote to subcue". Any chance of adding these there? It would save mouse movements and make it quicker to use.
