device_index This will identify the position of the current device within the target
group as a whole number (i.e. 0 to num_devices-1). For example, first gets 0, second gets 1,
last gets 7.
device_position The decimal “proportion” calculated from the fixture being applied
to. For example, first gets 0, second gets 0.125, third gets 0.25, last gets 0.875). It is
equivalent to device_index / num_devices.
You can name your own variables as intermediate values. For example,
fred = num_devices - 1;
offset = device_index / fred;
This would set offset so that the first fixture gets 0 and the last fixture gets 1 and the
intervening fixtures are evenly distributed.
Repeat This will divide the Freeset n times over the target devices. This is the
same as “Subgroups” in the Programmer. For example: repeat = 2; This will split the target
selection into 2 halves and apply the Freeset to each half independently.
Blocking This is the same as “Buddying” in the Programmer.
You can write comments that will be ignored in a script by prefixing the comments with a
double forward slash. For example, //All text until the end of the line will be ignored.
19.11.1 Sample Scripts
The following lines are some script examples:
duty_factor = num_devices;
// this will scale a chase effect to suit the number of fixtures.
duty_factor = num_devices / 2;
// similar to the above, this will scale with a bit of overlap.
repeat = 2
// this will split the selected fixtures into 2 groups and apply the freeset to each half
independently.

Group Icons
 Each group icon displays its name and a number.
 The number can be used for keyboard entry of groups.
 Clarity automatically creates a group for every different type of fixture that has been
patched. These group icons have bevelled corners. These groups cannot be edited or
deleted.
 Groups that you record have icons with rounded corners.
 When the icon has a Yellow border, the group is selected.
