Tools for Selection

Assuming your group is a regular linearized selection, this could be done by setting the MAtricks XWidth property to half of the number of selected fixtures, to wrap the second half to the next row, then sub-select either of the two rows via the MAtricks Y property.

By using XWidth&Y instead of the more commonly known XBlock&X, you preserve the ability to align on the resulting sub-selection.

You will need Lua to retrieve and divide the number of currently selected fixtures, if you want to avoid to calculate and enter this manually.

example:

Lua "Cmd([[MAtricks 'XWidth' '%.f' 'Y' '0']], SelectionCount()/2)"

Andreas Good morning, sir, does this still work in 1.7.2? I am getting the following error:

Illegal Object: "MAtricks" "10" "Y" "0"

in the later versions, a starting MAtricks keyword is used to reference MAtricks pool objects.

to set the matricks of your current selection try:

Lua "Cmd([[Set Selection MAtricks 'XWidth' '%.f' 'Y' '0']], SelectionCount()/2)"
