[Retain Layout] or [Bunch Up]  is used when copying a group of 
palettes with empty handles in the group – you can either keep 
the empty handles, or bunch up the used handles together.

When in Copy mode, option [Copy Legends] can be changed to 
[Don’t copy legends] so that the copied palettes are given 
default legends. 
• 
When in Move mode, [Swap Items if Required] will attempt to 
reposition any existing handles which are in the way of the 
move. This is useful when rearranging buttons on a page which

Timing 
4.6.1 
Fading a palette and fixture overlap 
A timed palette is a very useful tool allowing easy "busking" of shows. 
When a palette is recalled in this way, a time is added and the palette 
fades in over that time. 
1>  Select some fixtures 
2>  Type in the fade time for the palette on the numeric keypad 
3>  Press a preset palette button to recall the palette 
Palette fading can be very useful when recalling a palette live during 
a show, as you can smoothly move fixtures to a new position or 
change colour slowly (on colour mixing fixtures). 
Palettes applied with a fade time do not get put into the programmer, 
so will not be saved in any cues; don’t use fade times when 
programming. This is to ensure that when used in a live situation, the 
next cue will override the palette and play back as intended. 
Additionally you can set Fixture Overlap, which means that if you 
recall the palette to a group of fixtures, the change will be applied in 
sequence to each fixture in the group. This is a very quick way to 
busk some amazing effects. Fixture Overlap=100% means that all 
fixtures will change together. Fixture Overlap=0% means that each 
fixture must complete its fade before the next will start its fade. 
To set an overlap, type the overlap amount then press C [Set
