Preview line

I'm thinking about that since a long time, LX console do not have a preview line in live mode, and sometimes it's very scaring, because you don't know what is coming in next cue, so if you make any mistake before the show, you can't know it before firing a cue. A third line in the main window who tells you the nevel of the next cue(for exemple under the line of level of the select cue), and have the possibility to modify the next cue, could be very usefull, in cue mode and in live mode.

P.S.: The script who allow you to send the MTC cue to Qlab works just very well and and it safes a lot of time! Thanks again for the work you do.

That's a very interesting idea. Do you know of any other consoles that have this design?

I think D::light has this fonction, he works by step, so you can see the previews and the next step. But i realy don't like this programme... For a lot of reasons. I wanted to make a screnn capture to show you, but i just don't remember how to use D::Light, so i feel leasy and i think you'll find faster than me.
I'm happy you're interest in this update, and i'm impatient to use it.

LXConsole v2.2.1 is available as the latest build. It includes a display option for the Live view that shows the levels of the next cue before it is played in addition to the current levels.

I've just check the update, it's very good and clear. But don't you think
it could be good to have a solution to modify the next cue in live without going in the cue mode. Because if you see a problem, that could be good to act on it.
Anyway, it's already better!

I was thinking about that, and i think a solution could be a simple code in the commande line of the main window, something like:
nc@%v
"n" for next cue
"c" for the number of channel
"%v" for the level
I let you see.

LXConsole 2.2.2 is available as a latest build.

When in Live/Preview Next Cue display mode, prefacing a command with "n" will cause it to affect the upcoming cue.

Commands that can affect the upcoming cue are setting levels and changing times. Other commands apply to the current cue and will reset the behavior of the command line to normal.

You must press "n" before each command that applies to the upcoming cue. Any other command will reset the behavior.

To make it clear that a command applies to the next cue, the command line text field will have a red background when in the "next cue" state.
