'Go To' Cues

'Go To' Cues are only available with SCS Professional and higher license levels.

A 'Go To' cue will jump to a new position in the cue list. This enables you to create a loop of multiple cues.

SCS currently provides an interim or temporary implementation of the 'Go To' cue type, using the Note cue type. A full implementation of the 'Go To' cue type will be provided later.

Using the Note cue as a 'Go To' cue is best explained with a simple example. Suppose you have the following cues:

When Q6 has completed you want to loop back to Q2. To do this, set up Q7 as a Note cue with the Description "$GoTo Q2" (without quotes). When Q7 is run, SCS will jump back to Q2 in the cue list and will immediately start Q2.

Note

To use this facility the following rules apply:

· Only the Description field of a Note cue type can be used for 'Go To' cues.

· The Description field must be set to $GoTo followed a space and the cue number for the cue you want to jump to. The dollar sign before GoTo must be present and is intended as a command indicator to reduce the likelihood of clashing with an existing Note you may have set up.

· If the nominated cue (Q2 in the above example) is not found or is not enabled then an error will be displayed in the status line at the foot of the screen. The cue number is not validated when you enter the Description in the SCS Editor.
