sequence drives me mad

[yokosuna]

Hi everyone - I´m too blind to see!
Tell me, please, what´s wrong:
I have one dimmer, I add a scene I add a sequence to that scene.
I add two steps to the sequence.
I click on the first one and set the dimmer to 255.
I click to the second step - dimmer is allready on 255.
I set the dimmer to 0.
I click on the first step, the dimmer is 0.
WHAT !?
I change the dimmer to 255.
I click on the second step
Dimmer is 255. WTF ?
Version is 4.10.3a, Windows 7

Add: after some stupid clicking, suddenly it works as expected, cannot see the reason...
I made a new workspace, repeated the steps above - same result

The I tried the following:
I add a sequence but no step.
I adjusted the value of the dimmer and THEN press the "+" to add a step.
I changed the value and pressed the "+" again - voila, that does the trick.

Still, I´m not sure if I understand that behaviour....

What you should do is FIRST set the channels to the values you want,THEN click plus to add those values as a step. IIRC

I learned that the hard way. Not even RTFH helped here.
BTW that´s not very intuit IMHO. Since everywhere in the
worflow you FIRST add something and then you alter it:
you first ADD fixtures to the workspace, than you ADD scenes
where you ADD the fixtures, than you ADD a chaser where you
ADD your scenes and ADD widgets to the VC....
This is the only exception of this fool-proof concept I´m aware
of in this software.
If one isn´t familiar with that, it does lead to hard to track down
errors in your show.

I feel pretty confident in my usage of QLC+, but sequences are still something that trip me up to the point of almost avoiding them entirely. I'd rather go through the extra steps of making scenes in a folder, then adding them into a chaser rather than dealing with the quirkiness of sequences as they are currently implemented. I've had more operational glitches from trying to implement sequences than almost anything else. Not sure what the solution should be - just venting in agreement with the OP.

A rework of sequences is already planned (not really "planned" as there is no deadline, more like "on the todo list")

I still stuck in sequences: I made a rgb chaser and safed it as a sequence.
The I tried to change some values in that sequence through the scene editor.
Unfortunately, none of my changes are stored
Drives me insane !
Is there any other way to attach / use a rgb function with a audio trigger widget ?
