stop(...) --- Toggle Playback (On / Off)

The stop(...) cue toggles the transport:

• if playback is running → it stops
• if playback is already stopped → it starts again

It does not end the score and it does not freeze the system.

Syntax

stop() stop(uid:NAME) stop(next:CUEID)

Parameters

param required description

uid ✖ Only needed if multiple identical stop(...) cues appear

next ✖ Trigger another cue immediately after stop(...) runs

Behaviour

• toggles playback (stop ↔ start)
• briefly ignores sync echoes
• next(...) triggers another cue immediately (does not wait for resume / spacebar)

Examples

stop() stop(uid:s1) stop(next:nav(End))
