Hi Josh, the Cobra system has three semi-automatic firing modes, “Separate Scripts By Tracks”, “Step By Tracks”, and “Step By Events”. You can read more about the modes in our Cobra documentation here: https://finale3d.com/documentation/cobra-script-file-format/   Here's a quick summary of the modes: "Step By Events" - Use this mode to fire the items in your script one at a time by pressing the STEP button on your remote "Step By Tracks" - Use this mode to fire sequences of items one at a time by pressing the STEP button on your remote. "Separate Scripts by Tracks" - Use this mode to assign a segments of a show to buttons 1-18 on your remote   You mentioned that you want to fire more than one item at a time, so I think "Step By Tracks" would be a good fit.   Check out this article: Dividing a show into sequences for semi-automatic firing using the “Track” field   In short, all you have do to is unhide the Track column using the blue gear icon on the Script window, then assign track numbers to your script. If you want the first two shells in your show to be fired with a single button press, enter 1 in the track column. If you want the next five shells to fire with a single button press, enter 2 in the track column, so on and so forth. A track can be a single item, multiple items firing simultaneously, or multiple items spread out over a period of time. All you need to do is divide the script up by entering values in the track column of the Script window. When you're ready to export your script, make sure you choose the correct script type in the Export Options dialog.

Hi NoéMaamar, reports (and labels) are extensively customizable in the Pro version of Finale 3D. It looks like your report is based on rows from the Script window. In that case, if you have Pro, you can customize the title of your report by going to the blue gear in the Script window > Edit report template > select your report. In the report configuration dialog, change the Title to whatever you want, as shown in the screenshot below.  

I created a script for a basic 5 minute show that I am going to be doing and I was thinking of firing it with a step script.  I have never created a step script before in Finale.  Can you tell me how this would be done and exported to fire using a cobra firing system?  I am basically firing two shells at a time (with the exception of the 6” shells and chains at the end).  Thanks - Josh

Hi there ! My question is simple, I would like to know how to change the name of the shooting plan circled on the photo? How can I do if I want to write something other than "My report"   Thank you very much to all !  

All of them that I want to try. But I tried online and I already finished some 4 steps. Steps 5 and 6 that I am really don't know. It said:   How many stars do you want?(4in/100mm normal = 120, 4in/100mm dense = 240, 5in/125mm normal = 140, 5in/125mm dense = 280, 6in/150mm normal = 160, 6in/150mm dense = 320), 7in/175mm normal = 180, 7in/175mm dense = 360:   How can I answer this question?

We did not have a tablet/laptop controlling the show. We just used the 18R2 controller. We were not using the audio box. Deleting the cues step also deleted the audio of the show to the point of the shutdown. We had the music running on a much larger sound system and were able to time the edited show to start with the music.

I appreciate this is a bit late, but just wanted to add if you have a tablet atteched, either to an r2 or command centre, you can use the "jump to cue" function to jump forward 16 mins. This would also skip the audio to the correct place if using the audio box.

Want to lock on to an position and rotate the camera around it, seems hard to control in the camera keyframes window, what is the best method?

Drew, that looks great! Thanks

I will give that a try. Many thanks!
