Show Cue System

2 questions and possible enhancements in the future depending on the answers

1. Can I save a show as another file? Here I am looking at possibly having the shows auto start at a specific time of day. We have a couple Matinees that start at different time but the rest of the cues are exactly the same. I would like to save the Evening show as another file and then just go in and change the auto start time. So I guess is there a "save file as ... " capability?

2. I would love to be able to print a Cue sheet that only has the Manual cues on it. That way the board operator can have a sheet to look at and know what he needs to do when without being bothered by reading through the auto started cues and linked cues. Is this possible or can it be added in the future?

You know if these little questions are the only problems that you have a GREAT product !!!!! Thanks a Million

Can I save a show as another file?

There is a Save As facility in the Editor under the File menu item.

I presume you are using time-based-cues when you mention the auto start time and wanting different auto start times for different performance starting times. With time-based-cues you can set up several Time Profiles under Production Properties, so you could have a Matinee profile and an Evening profile. For your time-based-cues you may then nominate the starting time for each profile, ie the cue's start time for Matinees and the cue's start time for Evening performances.

When you load your cue file for a production (eg when you start SCS), the Time Profile you have selected as the Default Time Profile in the Production Properties is the Time Profile initially used. You can change the selected Time Profile on the Run screen by selecting the menu item File / Select Time Profile.

There is more info on time-based-cues in the Help file - see The Editor / Cue Properties / Time Based Cues.

That's a good suggestion. What you can do now is from the Print Cue List window click the button labelled Copy to Windows Clipboard, then open Excel, paste into a new spreadsheet and delete the rows you don't want printed, and print from Excel.
