Thread: A mucisian and Entertainer macro
Maybe you left out the space between the '/pause' and the number?
Make sure you wrote /pause and not /puase. It's a little thing, but not easy to see when you are typing it. Your mind will correct it so it looks right.
Just a thought. ^_^ good luck

it all seems that it will mostly run the same damn one flourish over and over again, with slight variation every 5 flo... I had someone buffing me with a one flourish only macro once, almost killed myself

OK then, could you tell me exactly how to use the pause thing? I type /pause 25; and it doesnt pause at all. That would really etend my macro if the dang things would work.
That should work. I just posted my "New and Improved" buffing macro in the musician forum and I use that exact same syntax. I am posting the macro here so you can look at it:
Since this macro is meant to do a quick buff, the pauses, flourishes usedand the spacing of the flourishes is different from what they would be in a leveling macro, but the theory is much the same. You could replace every other /flo with a /pause, change the length of the /pausesand change some of the /flos to other /flos so it would be more interesting... and remove the /daz 2 and the /tt lines and put in an /echo (message) to let yourself know when to restart it, and it should work just fine.
P.S. You might also want to check out my "So you Want to be an Entertainer..." thread. I have a short sample macro inthere.

quick question here Maisland... do you have sound turned on while running this macro?

Heh... I normally have my regular flourishing macro running at the same time as I run this... so it doesn't sound too bad... and I originally made it to use when giving dance buffs as I have far more dancers than musicians. However, I did rewrite it for use by itself while playing music in this thread.
Since only one of my musicians does is not also a dancer, and since I have not actively played her in awhile, what normally happens is that I give someone a dance buff, switch to music, give a music buff, then switch back to dance... and I use the same buffing macro for both dance and music. Plus, as I said, I have my regular macro for flourishes running at the same time.
My regular macro for music is:
I play Starwars 2 with the music macro (you will notice in that thread in the Musician Forum that I used this same tune to change the buffing macro there)... then my regular dance macro is:
Of course, the dance routine has some high level dances, so it would not really be good for a beginning entertainer (though I suppose that it could work with a few adjustments) and the timing of the flourishes is not really the best for leveling purposes, being intended to show each flourish in its entirity with as little of the base dances as I think I can get by with (taking lag into account). I made my buffing macro as bland as possible so it could be run at the same time as either of these macros with the minimum alteration of the routine I am actually doing. The buff macro will also work alone, but while this looks ok when doing a dance buff, as you noticed, it doesn't really sound good by itself when doing a music buff. After comparing the macro lengths, I also think I can make my dance macro longer than it is... and include more dances. 
I made that kind of macro for the theatrical dance, though if they finally really fix the base dance this could need a complete "revamp" ^^

You are welcome to use any of my macros. one note though: while the dance macro is all mine, the music macro is just a lengthened version of a macro that someone else posted for use with Starwars 2.
