Before I fill out a feature request ticket I thought I'd vent this to the
list & see what boils to the top.

During rehearsals, many times I am asked to PAUSE but I'm never asked to
continue forward. Instead they always want to back up a bit & start again.

Qlab Translation=stop, load to time, go. Depending on where you are in a
cue list, getting to the actual audio cue can take some hunting...

For similar reasons I have asked for the active cue are to include or better feature standard transport controls for times when we are using qlab as a fancy "cd player" style playback system. Dance events and rehearsals of all sorts have us constantly pausing, rewinding a bit, and so forth. Yes, I can do it now - however, having more manipulation of the active cue - like more quickly/easily rewinding just a bit, would be welcome. Relatedly, let me map these transport controls to something like a contour shuttle pro, which I always travel with as a QLab controller. I'd dig it. 

cheers,

Adding to my previous post & in support of Paul's,

My current operator is a video geek & he kept on staring at the JOG wheel
on my JLC MSC2 midi & asking why he can't use it to RR & FF in QLab.

He also said that in order to use Qlab for his video purposes, the JOG
function would be necessary. He seems very impressed with Qlab & even
said, "I can see Qlab being handy for a lot of the work I do." This is
without even using it for video. Only seeing how the audio part works.

So I'd like to at least plant the seed for a future version that can be
JOGGED, both audio & video.

Also as Paul mentions below, for us "Glorified CD player for Dance" type
users, being able to back up via remote would be nice.

While in PAUSE ALL, a 15 sec RR button would be very handy. Press it twice
& you get 30 secs of RR. 3 x = 45 sec RR, etc...

Then GO.

In the meantime, I am very grateful to know I can PAUSE ALL & then move
around in the timeline!!!

Best Regards,
