I'm looking for a script to write for a church that would allow volunteers to easily run a classroom using qlab. The cues would target a seperate list and one cue would go back one cue and play and one cue would go forward one cue and play. Is there a script already written for this? 

Thanks guys!

I'd use OSC cues like this

That works perfectly is there a way to make it work in a cue cart as well? When I bring those cues into a cue cart is there a way to make it work to target that other cue list?

Carts can't contain groups, but you can use start cues in a cart to start group cues elsewhere in your workspace. Playhead refers to the playhead of the current cue list, i.e the cue list in the main workspace window

So what would the OSC message look like if you are referencing another cue list? Or is that even possible playkeys/playhead/previous type of setup? 

If you number the cue list you want your cart  to control "9999" then

/cue/9999/playhead/previous                  will move the playhead of that list back

/cue/9999/playhead/next                          will move the playhead of that list forward

/cue/#/cue/9999/playhead#/start          will play the cue at the playhead and leave the playhead there

The workspace will look like this:

Note where the cue list you want to control is numbered. You will also see that in  that list I have added Loop cues at the top and tail so the list is circular. The Group cues the Cart Starts are in the Cue list named Control.
