Topic: Hot Cues
Hello all!
I have a slight problem. After placing hot cues on about 80% of my library, I've realised I would like to name them and colour code them!
I was wondering if there is a way to do all of them at once since they follow the same structure?
Example:
Cue1 - 32 before first drop
Cue 2 - first drop (want to make it red colour)
Cue 3 - 32 before breakdown
Cue 4 - Breakdown (want to make it green)
Cue 5 - 32 before 2nd drop
Cue 6 - 2nd drop (want to make it red colour)
Etc...

Or will I have to do it one by one?

Thanks in advance!

cue_color 1 "blue" & cue_name 1 "preDrop" & cue_color 2 "yellow" & cue_name 2 "1stDrop" & ...

This works very well for a title that is loaded in the active player, but he wants to edit several tracks at once without loading them into a player.
Is it possible to select multiple titles and apply this function to them?

No, cue manipulation is a "on deck activity" only.
If you need multiple files, search for
scroller
on the forums, I must have wrote a dozen examples.

Or working on .xml level, you need to get good with regex

Or you could just write the script into onSongLoad because it doesn't matter when the naming/colouring happens, onSongLoad is as good as any other time.

Thank you for your input LOCODOG. Should be enough to get me going on making it work.
Great shout on the onSongLoad, you definitely pointed me in the right direction! Thanks again!! :)
