6 If a slave has more scenes than the master calls, the last scenes in the
slave will never be executed, as is the case with scene S4 in the following
example.
7 A slave fixture will not listen for the next message from the master fixture
before it has finished its current scene. This may result in a slave skipping a
scene if slave has a longer scene time than master. Note that in the
following example the scenes in the Slave run out of their programmed
sequence because scenes 0 and 2 on the Slave are longer than the
corresponding scenes on the Master.
