One drawback, in my opinion, of the Dolby system is that you cannot create macros to execute multiple commands. For example, on a Doremi you could have a Flat Show Start macro that would have all of the commands necessary to dim the lights, strike the lamp, select the proper channel/macro on the projector, etc. On a Dolby, each command must be a separate cue. Now, a way that you could get around this is by using an automation, such as an eCNA-5/10/200 that supports all of your devices. You would then create a single cue on the Dolby (For example, Flat Show Start) that would fire a macro in the automation that would then execute every step necessary.
The projector Macro Button No. X titles are a function of the Dolby server, not the NEC projector. It does not matter what you title the macros on the projector. When you tell the Dolby that you have an NEC projector connected, it populates the cues with these Macro Button cues, as well as cues for lamp and douser. Each cue will select whatever macro is assigned to that button on the projector, regardless of what it is called. As far as I am aware, you can't rename those cues on the Dolby.
I am not incredibly familiar with Christie projectors, but it isn't unreasonable that certain systems do not allow certain characters in file naming. Sorry, I don't have a work-around for you.
