Hello all, and thank you for taking a moment to view this.

I'm fairly new to QLC+ (so please excuse my newbness) and I'm hoping to utilize it in a "live" band scenario, which exists of 3 to 4 sets containing approximately 15 songs each.
Ultimately what I'm hoping to do is have a "cue list" per each song controlled (start, stop, next, previous, etc.) via an Akai APC20 midi pad.

So far I have achieved the following:
A. Created finished light shows for different songs via the 'Show Manager'
B. Created 'cue lists' via the 'Virtual Console' for each song and connected the APC20 to control the start, stop, next, and previous of those cue lists.

The overall challenges I foresee are:
1. How could I have multiple cue lists that are individually triggered (with the same APC20 buttons...play, >>>, <<<, etc.) rather than all cue lists triggered (whether they are enabled or not?)?
2. Stacking order...If I did get all my cue lists to individually trigger via the APC20 in a solo frame...I would need to expand the appropriate one for the song leaving the others minimized...which in turn would most likely have the maximized cue list partly covered by the minimized one(s). The stacking order would change depending on which cue list is selected.

I'm sure there is a more practical approach and truly appreciate your feedback on this.

Best,
Kumba
