  In my experience, if using segue transitions, the stop command needs a
sleep pause after it, if the preceding event is a segue.  Otherwise the
segue will start the next event before the stop command is executed.  I
am using 2 logs, with macros switching between them and had to play
around with inserting sleep commands after the stop command--and
sometimes before, depending on the circumstances.

  Although I had trouble with the timing of the stop command, I have
never had it ignore that command completely.  That must be due to what
is in the macro following it.

  Look in the /var/log/syslog file to examine exactly how things are
executing.  That is very revealing.
