Not sure about your physical layout (your message was a tad confusing to me).
Here is what Nutcracker thinks your arches are doing - address wise:
Address 1 is left bottom and 2 is the next pixel on the arch going right and up all the way to 120 (last pixel on first arch -- bottom right)
Address 121 is the left bottom of arch #2 all the way to 240 (right bottom arch #2)
Address 241 is the left bottom of arch #3 all the way to 360 (right bottom arch #3)
Address 361 is the left bottom of arch #4 all the way to 480 (right bottom arch #4)

Sorry for the confusion Kurt. In basic terms that is the correct set up. I figured out that my issue with the arches not looking the same in LSP is that I had my controllers collapsed instead of expanded when I was pasting to the grid. My bad there....sorry....
For projects to work correctly do I need to have a local install on my computer? The reason I ask is that I do not know how to upload my MP3 song for the project.
Thanks,
Roger
you dont need a local install,but if you are doing LSP generations I requested that people only do local install runs.
we do NOT want people generating projects for LSP on meighan.net because you produce 1 gigabyte files for each song.
Here is my method of generating, i do make all of my runs on a local install
1) create the effects i will be using
2) Create a project, and run it. I output for vixen. I get a file (USERNAME~PROJECT_ID.vix). So for example f~225.vix
3) Open f~225.vix in Vixen and assign the audio file and attach the lynx etherdongle as the attached plugin. save file
4) Go to xlights, version C. Convert vix files to xseq files
5) Use xlights to schedule songs
In your case you will produce the UserPatterns.xml because you select LSP as the sequencer.
Now if you have more than one project per song, it is a little bit more
I have 3 projects per song. First project is my 2400 node megatree
Second project are my arches, windows and eaves
third project is fire pole (trunk of my tree) and the coro star on top of the tree.
each song will therefore need 3 projects
i have 8 songs now done, 24 projects
So i do the first 2 steps
1) create the effects i will be using
2) Create a project, and run it. I output for vixen. I get a file (USERNAME~PROJECT_ID.vix). So for example f~225.vix
3 times for each song because i have 3 projects
I now run the program that stitches projects together

LoginThis then produces a single mega vix file, it has all three projects merged together
3) Open f~181~master.vix in Vixen and assign the audio file and attach the lynx etherdongle as the attached plugin. save file
4) Go to xlights, version C. Convert vix files to xseq files
5) Use xlights to schedule songs
