CUETools - Custom scripts (fix offset)

I am a new user of CUETools and would like to know what is the difference in function between repair and fix offset profiles.

Custom scripts

For testing purposes, I ripped the CD without the offset correction set in EAC (Read offset correction : 0). Then I used the fix profil. In Extra settings I set the correct offset correction for my recorder (ASUS DRW-2014L1T) which is +6

Code: [Select]

CUETools recoded the input file using the set offset and the resulting file is now correct (AccurateRip), ok.
The problem occurs when I want to use offset correction -469 then offset 6 is still used. Of course I know that offset 6 has more confidence but I am doing this for testing purposes.

I have changed the settings but this does not help

Why, despite the offset being changed to -469, still +6 is in use?

'fix offset' adjusts the offset to a pressing that has the highest overall AccurateRip confidence level (if exists).
See the 'to nearest' setting http://cue.tools/wiki/CUETools_Advanced_Settings:_AccurateRip#Fix_offset

to nearest
When checked, the smallest amount of offset will be applied that gives an accurate result at zero offset after fix. When unchecked, offset will be applied that gives the highest AccurateRip confidence result at zero offset after fix.

Ah, so it's an 'automat' that matches the rip to the offset with the highest AccureRip match value. Does the 'to nearest' setting then make any sense in this case?

So if I want to add the offset I am interested in manually I will have to use the repair script? The fix offset script is full automatic without the possibility of defining the offset manually, right? If my CD pressing is in the AccurateRip database, then this offset will be applied automatically (fix offset script), right?

I modified my post above before you completed yours.

You manually add offset in the 'extra' section as in one of your images above except Action: Encode 'default'.

'Repair' is a completely different topic. It doesn't have anything to do with offset.

@korth Thank you very much, now everything is clear.
