Large cue running time display

It would be great if we had the option of a larger, even resizable cue, running time display - in a seperate floating window if necessary.

Very often we have to time lighting cues to co-incide with a particular point in some music or a sound effect. Our control room is cramped, so the monitor is on top of the equipment rack about 2m away which makes it very difficult for us to see the time counter.

Have you considered using a MIDI Send Cue to activate a required lighting cue? The MIDI Send Cue could be set to auto-start at the required time after the start of the Audio File Cue. This would save you having to watch the cue's running time.

If it was my theatre and my computer and lighting desk, I would!

But we don't have time to sort that out - in at 10.00am, then have to fit-up, rig, colour, focus and plot in time for Dress at 19.30, typically.
