How do I create and load multiple scripts into the 18R2?

COBRA allows you to load multiple scripts into the 18R2 from within a single script file.

When creating multiple scripts, you are only required to have the word "end" once at the end of the script file. See below for an example script file with multiple scripts.

When defining multiple scripts in the same file, only the first script in the file supports the unlimited channel and cue firing in firmware version 6.1 and lower. Any script beyond the first script in the file has a limit to fire no more than two channels in a 0.4s time window. If you are running firmware version 7.1, this limitation is removed as all scripts are downloaded into modules.

The process of creating multiple scripts cannot be performed using COBRA Show Creator but can be done manually after exporting multiple scripts from COBRA Show Creator and editing them together using Excel or other text editing programs such as Notepad. Finale 3D will export multiple scripts if you use the "Track" feature, as each track is exported as its own separate script.
