Most of my present use-cases for SCS involve subdividing a single song into several cues. The use cases include:
a- Be able to create cues based on rehearsal markings. This lets the director keep restarting the music at Measure 52 (or whatever) in rehearsal.
b- Share the read buffer between these cues so you don't have to do any weird time offsets to get seamless transitions between when cues using the audio file.
c- Ability to specify multiple loops for a single file.
For this use case, SCS + music is replacing the orchestra. Consider a single song that looks like this:
[Vamp meas 1-2] ... 10-15 measures ... [1 measure vamp] ... 1/2 measure (gliss) ... grand pause ... continue 20 measures
I have multiple examples (from this show) that I'm happy to send to you Mike to demonstrate how painful this can be with the existing infrastructure.
