Editing Artist Help:Adding Scene/Cue

First select a scene of cue from either of the tree views and then click one of the following functions/

=== As a Link ===

This function allows you to select Scenes to be linked to a parent Step, Scene or Cue. This is an alternative method to the usual function provided by the Program Control window. You cannot link Cues in this way.

Scenes that are link to a parent object are activated and deactivated when the parent is activated or deactivate. Also, the settings for the scene, such as rate, level, trigger etc, as set by the parent.

=== As a Command ===

This function adds a System Command to a parent Step, Scene or Cue in order to activate a Scene or a Cue. By default this System command is triggered when the parent is activated and is unaffected when the parent is deactivated. Another difference from linking is that the parent does not set the Scene or Cue settings, these remain default.

An options dialog opens allowing you to alter the default system command attributes.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| On at start of fade in || the command activates as the parent starts fading in. 
|-
| On at end of fade in || the command activates at the end of the parent fade in.
|-
| On at start of fade out || the command activates as the parent starts fading out.
|-
| On at end of fade out || the command activates at the parent of the parent fade out. 
|}

|-
| Off at start of fade out || the command deactivates as the parents starts to fade out.
|-

Activating a scene from a system command in this way set the flags of the contained fixture parameters. This can be useful for creating an override to running cues. See Cue Override.
