What it does
A QLab Cookbook workspace with script-cue generators for OSC, QLab-format OSC, MSC and MIDI program change cues. It saves hours of typing when QLab drives consoles or media servers.
How to set it up
- Download the example workspace for your QLab version from the cookbook page.
- Set up the template cue with the destination patch and message; for custom OSC put $$$ where the number should go (e.g. /track$$$/connect).
- Run the generator's Script cue and answer the prompts for count, start value, increment and number format.
- Copy the generated cues into your show workspace.

FAQ
Does it work in QLab 5?
Yes. It was written for QLab 3, and the page explains the QLab 4/5 changes (OSC cues became Network cues) and provides QLab 5 downloads.
Where does AI fit?
An agent can draft the template values and counts from your paperwork, while the tested generator script creates the actual cues.
