Advancing like a playlist with a keystroke

I know I'm missing something, but it seems like I'm getting conflicting information on the instructions.

I'm trying to create a setlist for my show that advances to the next step with a keystroke. (Like the spacebar which is use for the shows area) I'm trying to make a cue list like this.

Normal Stage Wash and Preshow Music

Space Bar advances to

Chaser Lights for 30 seconds then Stage Wash all while Intro Music plays

Space Bar

Fades Music and Stage Wash Comes back on

Space Bar

Plays next music Cue keeps Stage Wash

Space Bar

Plays next music Cue keeps stage wash

Etc....


So I've looked into doing a Cue List in Virtual Console, but it appears that can only run with one chaser unless I'm missing something. Then when I create a chaser, there's no way to divide all these things into steps and have music run concurrently during the chaser, and be able to advance, etc...

I know I'm overlooking something as this seems to be a simple ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've used Show Cue Systems in the past, but paying that fee for only one lighting cue seems to a bit much.

2 concepts you should remember
* chaser inside chaser. That is the main chaser following the show (production) and as many sub-chasers you need to have. Now you even pause your show in between songs.
* collection(s): With a collection you can start many functions at once. This helps you to start music together with the lights. https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... ditor.html
(you have to enable the collection filter when you want to select it inside other functions)
