Conceptual Issue - Beat/Tapper Wizard with Fixed TIming Grid

[TheBigE]

All,

I am still a bit confused, I have been playing with the software learning how it works and the details. I understand the concept of the timing grid and the beat/tap wizard. To me each are a valuable tool to establish exact light timings. That being said, why does the wizards both give you the option for a "fixed" timing grid.

I guess I don't understand the purpose of going in and defining the beat to use in sequencing only to set the timing at a fixed interval. For a fixed timing grid what ist he software doing duirng each of these wizards? I would think that a "freeform" is the best output for either of these wizard.

Interested to hear your responses

These wizards are capable of inserting timings, lighting effects, or both. If you don't ask them to insert timings, there's no reason why you would have to use a freeform timing grid.
