Hey all
Hope everyone is doing well! Little scripting question… I’d love to end my preshow by rate fading whichever cue is playing once clearance is given. Of course, I could have 10+ rate fade cues targeted to each song individually and trigger them simultaneously - but I’m absolutely certain there’s a more elegant way to script that.
Preshow music lives in its own list, and the “end preshow” cue is a timeline group triggering a whole bunch of other fx, fades, etc. My guess is that a script cue in that timeline group, telling fade cue “x” to target whichever cue in “preshow list” is currently playing would do the trick. Issue is that I have no idea how to write that script!
Trying my hardest to learn and this group is such a goldmine so any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thank you all! x
All my best,
Roly (they/them)

Fade the group or list containing the cues.

Hey Mic
Potentially being dense but I can’t see an option to fade the rate of a list/group as I don’t think you have that option with a relative fade?
All my best,

Sorry I misread your question
tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.4" to tell front workspace
set theCue to last item of (cues whose q type is "audio" and running is true)
set theFadeCue to cue "2.5" --change cue number to number of your fade cue
set the cue target of theFadeCue to theCue
start theFadeCue
end tell

set the cue target of theFadeCue to theCue

end tell

You can also narrow the selection to a group of cues, or cue list , with:
set theCue to last item of (cues of cue "0.5" whose q type is "audio" and running is true)
or
set theCue to last item of (cues of (first cue list whose q list name is "Preshow") whose q type is "audio" and running is true)
set theCue to last item of (cues of (first cue list whose q list name is "Preshow") whose q type is "audio" and running is true)
