Editing events
Editing changes the parameters of an existing event without removing it from the list. Useful when a director moves a cue, an actor changes their entry, or a snippet recall needs adjusting.
How to edit an event
- Open the Event List.
- Swipe left on the event row, or long-tap and select Edit.
- Change parameters.
- Save.
Notes
- You can change most parameters but not the event type. To switch types (a Conductor cue into a Locator, for example), delete the event and add a new one. Within a MIDI event, though, you can freely change the payloads — turn off the mic toggles, swap the audio file, change the OSC command — without deleting and re-adding.
- Timestamps in songs. Edit the timestamp directly in the editor, or use the Waveform Editor to drag the event visually on the audio.
- Names matter. When editing, give the event a name that reads fast under pressure. "All mute", "Scene change 41 - lights (Eos)", "Projections 41 start - Qlab" — explicit is better than terse.
