The first and third steps do not look right or are unnecessary:
Handles.SourceHandle is the item selected in operations such as 
Delete and Set Legend, you are setting this in the first step.
Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback is playback in use by the 
Edit Times menu, you are setting this in the third step 
even though it won't have changed.

Code

<sequence>
  <step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Handles.SourceHandle", Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback)</step>
  <step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum("Playbacks.Editor.Times.CueMode", "Mode1")</step>
  <step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback", Handles.SourceHandle)</step>
</sequence>

Explanation

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

It is believed that the 1st and third step are unnecessary, see Gregory's porst above. It looks like these steps are copied from exampes like Chase - Double speed where it is required to store and restore the selected playback - which is not the case here.

How to use it

make this macro available
