Most options are described in Playback Options, but these are additional options for cue lists:
Tracking
Enables or disables Tracking mode (where unchanged settings persist from the previous cues). Enabled by default.
Shape Tracking
Sets how shapes are tracked between cues. Setting | Action --- | --- Off | Shapes will stop when the next cue starts On | Shapes will track until stopped or changed in a cue Local | Follows the tracking option above (default option)
Move In Dark
Sets the mode for the whole cue list (see Move In Dark (MID) Functions).
| Setting | Action |
|---|---|
| Off | Obeys settings for individual cues (default option) |
| Disabled | No move in dark even if set in cues |

Loop Action
Sets what will happen at the end of the cue list
| Setting | Action |
|---|---|

Handle Tab
All these options are described in Playback Options.
Fader Tab
Fader Mode
Sets how the cue list fader behaves.
| Setting | Action |
|---|---|
| Fader Mode Intensity Kill With Off | The fader masters the overall HTP level and the cue list remains active (connected) even when the fader is lowered to zero. |
| Fader Mode Intensity Kill At 0 | The fader masters the overall HTP level and the cue list is killed when the fader is lowered to zero. |
| Manual Crossfader | The fader behaves as a manual crossfade control, and the cue list will automatically step on to the next cue when the fader reaches the top or bottom of travel. |
Fire First Cue
Sets whether the first cue automatically fires when the fader is raised.
Effects Tab
All these options are described in Playback Options.
Release Tab
Release Mask and Release Time are described in the Playback Options.
Cue Release
Allows you to create an overlay cue list with gaps in it where the fixtures will return to their previous state. For example you could create a cue list where every alternate cue sets the fixtures to white, with the in between cues being blank. If this option is on, the fixtures will bump to white then return to the colour set from a previous look.
Renumber all cues
Allows you to renumber the cue list if the numbering has got mixed up after lots of editing. This is only available on the softkey options, not the touch window.
Cue Options
This option allows you to change settings for each cue in the cue list. To select the cue number to edit, use the Wheel A or press softkey A then enter the cue number on the numeric keypad.
- Curve allows you to set a different fade curve for the cue; this affects how the fade progresses from one cue to the other *(for example you can select a fade which starts off slow, speeds up in the middle and then slows down at the end)*. Press Curve then select a new curve from the softkeys. The effect of the various curves is described in [Curves](/docs/13.0/system-settings/curves).
- can be set to Wait for Go, With Previous Cue or **After Previous Cue**. See [Cue Linking & Link Offset](/docs/13.0/cue-lists/cue-list-timing#cue-linking--link-offset)
- Move in Dark opens the menu for Move In Dark options, see [Move in Dark (MID) Functions](/docs/13.0/cue-lists/cue-list-playback#move-in-dark-mid-functions)
