Show Cue System

For me one of the key strengths of SCS over other software - Qlabs for example - is the completely separate editor window. I usually create shows on a two-screen set-up and having the editor window permanently open in the second screen is a huge productivity bonus, especially in situations like tech rehearsals where you can have live cues playing and also be working on later cues in the edit window. On one occasion (not to be recommended) I had about an hour's notice of a show and was only able to build the first half before the show began. Was able to construct the second half in screen 2 while running the first half in screen 1. I don't think I could have done that in Qlabs (maybe it's possible now).

Agreed - and last time I used QLab it couldn't use multipole screens, but that was a little while back now.

And actually if I think about it you get a bit of the best of both worlds in so far as you can adjust some cue values in real time on the cue panel and then save then via Save Settings. Really useful when trying to mix multiple effects together.

Agreed, I use the split-screen all the time to construct cues during rehearsal runs.
