hello friends

how to jump on a cue list ?
for example from cue 05 to cue 18

it's not possible to do without change cue to cue.....

and also, how to go to the end of a cue more fast, for example if I have a time of fade in 5 MIN ? and reset the time of a cue withou wait all this duration....




Thanks,
Regards

Open the properties of your Cue List and select the last Tab: Faders.
If you box the Steps option you can now use a fader that lets you select to which step off the Cue List you want to go.

If you go to the on line manual for the Cue List https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/virtual-console/cue-list , you will find:
Side Fader
Behaviour: Select the behaviour of the side fader.

If Crossfade is selected, a fader will be displayed on the left side of the panel, implementing the crossfade functionality between cues.
If Steps is selected, a fader will be displayed on the left side of the panel, and its value will determine which cue of the Cue List to run.

If you are familiar with LoopBacks, you can add a LoopBack Slider as External Control to this fader.
If your chaser has 5 steps, create 5 scenes setting this loopback Slider to 26 (= 255 / 5 / 2), 77 (= 26 + (255 / 5)), 128, 179 and 230.
You can use those scenes to jump directly to a specific step of your chaser.

Be aware that if you add a scene to your chaser, you have to do the math again and come up with values 21 (= 255 / 6 / 2), 64 (= 21 +(255 / 6)), 107, 149, 191 and 233.

For a theater style cuelist (not in this crossfader step mode but with individual timings and infinite hold), you can click any cuelist entry and hit Enter to go there (with programmed time though).
I just tested this in Win11, in Linux/KDE it even goes to that cue immediately when clicking the line (other desktop environments behave differently I think)

hey how are you ?
thanks for the help
I think that the best way to do it's, select a cue and press ENTER. With the faders is not very precise...
Sorry but I didnt understand the explain about the Loopbacks and the values.......
