Cue

Vezér's Composition-level Cue system allows you to break a Composition into smaller parts for easier management. A Cue could be a simple Marker or a Stop Cue even with looping options.
There are 2 types of Cues Vezér. A Cue with light-gray color represents a Marker Cue, while a Cue with aquamarine color represents a Stop Cue.

Any Cue can be set to Play Once, Loop a given number of times or Loop Indefinitely.

It is also possible to jump between Cues, or jump to or play a specific Cue using Vezér's extensive OSC API.
