Load to Time. Don't play previous MIDI/OSC cues in group

[micpool]

The default behaviour of a timeline group that is loaded to time is that it will fire all MIDI and OSC cues in the timeline group which precede the load time, all at once, when the group is started.

While this makes sense for the majority of situations e.g.making sure a MIDI PC controlled mixer is in the correct state, sometimes it's not what you want.

Here's a solution I made for a user controlling robots with OSC, which presumably would have got their articulated parts in a tangle if responding to lots of instructions,  that were normally spaced across a long timeframe, simultaneously

If you put this in a script cue with ⇧Space to trigger, you would have the option of either triggering historic OSC/MIDI cues as per QLab's normal behaviour with space, or only future OSC/MIDI cues with ⇧Space

tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.4"

set osc output enabled of overrides to false

set midi output enabled of overrides to false

tell front workspace to go

set osc output enabled of overrides to true

set midi output enabled of overrides to true

set overrides visibility of overrides to false

end tell

You can also use any of these in the script to use this behaviour with other MIDI message types and Art-Net.

• msc output enabled (boolean) : Allow MSC output (default ON)
• sysex output enabled (boolean) : Allow SysEx (other than MSC and MTC) output (default ON)
• artnet enabled (boolean) : Allow Art-Net input and output (default ON)
