Software Version: 4.30.1274.0 NX Console Type or PC OS Version: NX Wing I have six cuelists based on timecode, each running within a specific time range: - **Cuelist 1** : 00:00:05 → 00:05:00 - **Cuelist 2** : 00:05:30 → 00:10:00 - **Cuelist 3** : 00:10:30 → 00:15:00 - …and so on. I receive timecode via MIDI and want to create a **main cuelist** that triggers each of these cuelists at their respective timecodes. For example: - At **00:00:05** , the main cuelist should trigger **Cuelist 1** while keeping control. - At **00:05:25** , it should trigger **Cuelist 2** , and so on. The issue is that when the timecode reaches **00:00:05** , it activates **Cuelist 1** but also stops the main cuelist, preventing it from continuing to trigger the other cuelists. How can I make the main cuelist remain active and continue executing time-based triggers without stopping itself? Here’s a screenshot of my current setup. Any ideas on how to fix this? ![image](https://forum.obsidiancontrol.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8d1454bc0a637df639065204e2ac6ed12842a60f.jpeg) ---

did you try “stay alive” at the cuelist options of the main cuelist? ---

Yes, I have kept ‘stay alive’ activated only on the main cuelist. ![image](https://forum.obsidiancontrol.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/823ac1023846cee8c890ab0500979e7e13a4365c.png) ---

did a priority change anything to prevent it? ---

Hi @misterx Welcome to the forum. Thank you for the screenshot. In your show file, Cuelist 91 will trigger Cuelist 58 and release all other cuelists when it receives timecode 00:00:00:15. However, cuelist 58 is configured to release all cue lists apart from itself when triggered. Therefore, cuelist 91 will be released. Apologies if I have misunderstood something, but it looks like you may need to edit cuelist 58 so it doesn’t release cuelist 91 when triggered. Edward ---

Perfect… that’s exactly it… resolved. Thank you very much. ---
