====== Console and simulator ======

When it comes to describing actions on the real console (or on the simulated one), the following conventions are used (an extensive example is [[macros:recorded_vs._coded_macros]]):

  * always write as like as you were performing on a real console, even if playing with the simulator
  * always write as like as you were performing on a real console, even if playing with Titan One
  * any actions on the console shall be written as ''Monospaced Text''
  * pressing real buttons shall be denoted using <angled brackets>, e.g. ''<Clear>''
  * numbers may be slightly abbreviated, e.g. entering 12  (''<1>'' ''<2>'') may be denoted as ''<12>''
  * pressing buttons consecutively is denoted as ''<button A>'' ''<button B>'' whereas holding button A pressed whiile pressing button B shall be denoted with a + (plus sign) ''<button A>'' + ''<button B>''
  * clicking touch buttons shall be denoted using [square brackets], e.g. ''[Palette 1]''
  * menu buttons (which can be called as touch buttons as well as hard keys A~H) shall be denoted as touch buttons regardless if there are real buttons or not (e.g. in root menu ''<A>'' should be denoted as ''[Edit Times]'' )
  * {curly braces} are used for variable inputs like ''{Select group of fixtures}'' or ''{Select playback}''
  * it's good pratice to comment the code - anything after ''double slashes %%//%%'' is regarded as comment/annotation, as well as ''<!-- the multiline syntax -->''
