Cue templates
Cue templates save the structure of a song's cue list β numbers, labels, trigger modes, standby times, departments, and relative timing β as a named preset you can apply to other songs. Templates are stored on this computer and are available across all shows.
Saving a template
With a song loaded and its cues set up the way you want, click the Templates button in the cue toolbar and choose Save current structure. Enter a name for the template and confirm. The template is saved locally and appears in the Templates list immediately.
Applying a template
Load the song you want to apply the template to. Click Templates and select a saved template from the list, then click Apply.
Before applying, two options are available:
- Stretch to song length β proportionally scales the cue timecodes so the last cue lands at the end of the target song. Useful when two songs have different lengths but the same structural shape.
- Replace existing β when on, clears the song's current cues before applying the template. When off, the template cues are added alongside existing cues.
Template storage
Templates are stored per-installation, not inside the .ltcast project file. They are available across all shows on the same computer but are not transferred when you share a project with another computer. To share a cue structure with another installation, export the song's cues or use the copy-paste workflow.
Example use case
If you run the same show structure every weekend with different songs each week, save the cue template from one week's setlist and apply it to the new songs the following week. Use Stretch to song length to adapt the timecodes automatically, then fine-tune individual cues as needed.
