Explanation
The looping is great for when someone is just shouting numbers at you. The dialog runs in a loop, so you can just keep pressing enter between numbers. Click "End" on the dialog box to close.
Or you can click on "Create Range" to set a starting number, ending number, and increment value (which all accept decimals) to create a large quantity of cues at once. (For me it takes less than 10 seconds to make 100 cues.)
Tweak the scripts to add cue numbers, cue names, or to set different parameters.
These scripts use QLab's network device definitions, and so the correct patches needs to be set before creating cues. If the cues are created before proper network settings, changing the network settings afterwards will not fix the cues. To enforce a proper network patch before creating cues, there is a place at the top of each to script specify the name of the network patch you want the cues to use. The script will stop if it doesn't see a network patch with the name indicated.
Scripts
Copy the text below, and paste it into a script cue in your QLab workspace. I recommend assigning it a hotkey, or I like to give each script cue a unique cue number using letters, and then trigger it from Bitfocus Companion.
