Universally change notes field text color

[Penelope Poppers]

The theatre I work for is about to mount a show that came with it's own Qlab file, which was built in Qlab V2. In this version the note field utilizes black text, but in V3 (the version I'm using), the notes field background is black, so we can not read any of the notes without highlighting and changing the font manually. With 850 cues, I'm not looking forward to this... is their anyway we can do this universally for all the cues?

 a script cue with

tell front workspace

set selectedCues to selected as list

repeat with eachCue in selectedCues

set thenotes to notes of eachCue

set notes of eachCue to ""

set notes of eachCue to thenotes

end repeat

end tell

I got this message "ERROR: Expected class name, etc. but found identifier. (-2741)

"workspace" in the first line is highlighted red. I tried changing this to the Qlab file name but got a similar error, any ideas?

Untick run in separate process

That solved that problem, thanks! I ran the script cue and it appeared to run, but did not change the font color of any of the notes.

Update to 3.1.8

I downloaded and ran the update and tried running the script again, no luck. The text is still black. Do I need to name a color in the "set notes of eachCue to """ line?

The quickest way is to put it in a script cue and assign a hot key.

You then need to ensure all the groups are expanded, then select every cue, by selecting the first cue you want to change and then shift clicking the last

Then just hit the script hotkey.

The attached sequence of screenshots shows it in action.

Once you have converted it you will probably want to delete the script cue.

Here's the entire method in a pdf as a step by step guide for future use.
