This happens:

- Cannot remove some fixtures from a Sequence

- Go to Functions / Sequence / Beam / <SE> Beam DM Left-Right

- Remove the four V700 Spot from the fixture list (using the - button)

- Close and restart QLC + (the fixtures are not present in the sequence)

- Start the "<SE> Beam DM Left-Right" sequence from the virtual console

- Back to functions / sequence / beam / <SE> Beam DM Left-Right:
the four previously deleted fixtures are still present

I attach the show file.

Your current show file takes me like 11+ seconds, to load your show file on my über-decent laptop...

Sorry,
the V700s reappear only after starting the function from the virtual console:
I enlarged the button to start the function

In my notebook load in about 5 seconds

I use all these functions. Not having the possibility to use the palettes for colors and positions I would not know how to work with fewer functions

The show file crashes after 30s of loading... 4.12.5 GIT
It loads with the 4.12.4
and now I do need the custom fixtures to debug even further...

It works for me, I use it to do 4 events a week and it doesn't crash.

Why doesn't it load the custom fixtures?
Did you download them?

I can confirm that the V700 reappears after run Beam DM Left-Right sequence. It's hard to diagnose why they reappear is a complex project. This fixtures are used in many other parts of the project.

After remove the V700 fixtures save the project and edit it with a text/xml editor.
The lines referencing to the V700 fixtures ID's from the Scene are removed after saving the project:
<FixtureVal ID="36">3,0</FixtureVal>
<FixtureVal ID="37">3,0</FixtureVal>
<FixtureVal ID="38">3,0</FixtureVal>
<FixtureVal ID="39">3,0</FixtureVal>

But the ID's of V700 fixtures are remaining in the step lines of the sequence:
<Step Number="0" FadeIn="0" Hold="0" FadeOut="0" Values="16">9:2,255:36:3,255:37:3,255:38:3,255:39:3,255:48:2,255:49:2,255:72:7,255:73:7,255:81:2,255</Step>
<Step Number="1" FadeIn="0" Hold="0" FadeOut="0" Values="16">12:2,255:36:3,255:37:3,255:38:3,255:39:3,255:50:2,255:51:2,255:74:7,255:75:7,255:82:2,255</Step>
