Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Music

Music Queue
I have been using csds for a couple of years and I am a little embarrassed to ask such a simple question.

I finally noticed that there is a music queue function. Of course I have been using the quick list function to preselect the music I want to use at a given dance. What is the intended function of the “music queue”. How do you turn it off. After the last update or two I find that a “Load from music queue” dialog box keeps coming up when I try to select a song from the quick list. The dialog box gets in the way. I keep trying to turn it off and it keeps coming back. I suspect that the problem is “operator” error but really could use some help.

The music queue is intended for music to be used immediately after the last selection stops.

You can turn off the music queue by removing all items in it (use the 'Clear' button).

You can bypass 'Load from Music Queue' when it pops up just by pressing a normal hotkey. E.g., if the 'load from music queue' dialog box pops up, press 'Q' if you want the quick list, or 'M' if you want the music player, etc.

The idea of the music queue is that you put your music in it, in order of how you want it played.

For instance, prior to the tip, put the singing call music in the queue, then load the patter music into the player. When the patter stops, the music queue allows you to automatically load and/or play the singing call, without first having to bring up a music window, search for the music, etc.
