When bringing channels not previously up to 0% and updating  the cue I noticed that blues 0's will show up.  For example, I have a group 61. It consists of channels 61 through 65, but in my cue I have  62 through 64 up. I edit the cue and bring all of group 61 to 0% by doing [Group] [6] [1] [at] [0] [Enter]. After updating the cue, the screen shows channels 61 and 65 as blue 0's, and 62 through 64 as green 0's (as those channels should be). Is there a reason the software does this? It's not really a problem, it's just something I noticed that stands out and adds extra info to the screen when looking at the contents of a cue.

The blue zero represents the fact that you stored them at zero, and they were previously "null" - or not used at all.  (zero is a higher value than null). That should be the only time you see a blue zero.  (good question, btw, it comes up a lot!)

Does that help?
