 While macros already make a powerful tool, there is still lots of headroom. To spare you some time, here are some hints on things with are currently (Titan v10.1) **not possible** with macros:
-  * variables
+  * more user input (like parameters)
-  * more user input
-  * conditions
   * loops (while, for, each, until)
   * breakpoints (run until a certain point, wait for a trigger, then proceed)

 . "Next fixture" might work as ''Selection.Context.Global.PatternNext()''\\
-. "at full" is not that easy - we were discussing how to set attribute value the other day\\
+. "at full" needs to be discussed separately - setting an attribute uses the function [[macros:function:Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.SetControlValueById]] and goes along the lines Olie outlined [[http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5189|in the forum]]. Another option is literally using ''@@'', by  ''Command.RunCommand("@@")'', see [[:macros:function:Command.RunCommand]] \\
 . "append step" is the most tricky part: the function could be ''Playbacks.AppendCue(Handle handle)'' - but this would require us to know the handle \\
 . "at 0" -> see above 2.\\
