'live' playlist level control

is this possible?
say you start your pre show music and want to alter the level, but not by way of manual desk adjustment, nor master fader adjustment - in case you forget to re-adjust before the show starts for real? is there a way to either a) create a 'reset master fader cue' or b) adjust the playlist level on the fly??
hope that makes sense!!

There's currently no facility for achieving this, although there probably should be a way to adjust the playlist level on the fly, since it is a sub-cue property.

For now I suggest you:
  • Make level adjustments to pre-show music using the Master Fader, and
  • Add a Memo cue after your pre-show playlist cue, to remind you (or the operator) to reset the Master Fader if necessary.
  • The easiest way to reset the Master Fader is to click anywhere on the white marker in the fader - the fader will then snap back to the preset position.

It would be a great help to be able to adjust a playlist level while it is playing. I do theater and the same productions play in multiple venues with drastically different seating configurations and acoustic properties, thus making it necessary for me to be able to adjust playlist levels.
