A simple addition that I think would save time, in particular at rehearsals, would be another column on the cue list for the Script Page Number
When rehearsals start, using cue numbers is frequently a lost cause because;-
1 Que numbers get changed as additions are made, pages are set in stone.
2 Cast and Director are all talking script page numbers

Re: Extra field - Script page number
I put page numbers at the start of the description field, eg P4 Fade Car, Betty ON or in the 'When required' field
but I agree it could be useful as long you could select not to display it if required.

Re: Extra field - Script page number
Inserting the page number at the start of the Description, as per Boswell's suggestion, is what I always do and have found this sufficient.
Re: Extra field - Script page number
I put the page number in the field " when required"

HI
I have found that with Mikes flexible Cue Numbering, I use the Cue number field to hold both the page number and then a letter designating that cue, i.e. 21a page 21 first cue. I suppose this would get more difficult when there are more than 26 cues to a page, but with our productions there is no chance on that happening, mores the pity
