Joe,

We will have to take a look and see if we can reproduce this issue. I have
not run into it before, but then I usually write a script and use MIDI to
trigger the scripts.

If my memory serves (and I could be wrong... so test this to make
sure...LOL) the difference between GO and Transport Play is very subtle.
Under normal operation they are one in the same. However if you Pause a
running Cue List, the Play Command should restart the Cue List from its
pause mode while not going on the next cue. Where as a GO command in that
circumstance would just GO on the next cue. But I'm not sure SFX 6 has
always responded in that fashion. So I would double check.
