Workflow

Settings → Workflow has three sub-tabs: Appearance, Keybindings and Cue Sync. These settings belong to this installation; they are not stored in the show file and do not travel with a project.

Appearance sub-tab

In the order they appear:

• Theme Color — six accent colours (cyan, red, green, orange, purple, pink). It changes the accent only; status colours stay fixed — green is OK, amber a warning, red an error.
• Show Timer beep audio — where the Show Timer's completion beep plays: System default, Music output device, or Silent (no beep). The cue standby/GO beep uses the same output, so Silent mutes both.
• Cue standby/GO beep — off by default. One lower beep when the next cue enters its standby window, two higher beeps at GO. See Next Cue panel.
• UI Size — a continuous zoom from 70% to 160% with −, a percentage button (click it to return to 100%) and +. Ctrl +, − and 0 do the same (Cmd on macOS). Use a larger size when you operate from a distance.
• Ultra-dark mode — a darker interface.
• Optional panels — three tick boxes: Show Triggers (MIDI) tab, Show "Show" tab (Show Timer and Show Log) and Show "Tools" tab (TC Calculator). All off by default. The other panels — Song Map, Departments, Lyrics, Calling, the Stage Monitor, the Hints panel and the console exports — are switched from the View menu; see View menu & role presets.
• Department / collaboration mode — off by default. Off is a clean single-operator view; on adds the lane-to-department binding, the split-by-department import and multi-department badges in the timeline.
• Number keys 1-9 — what the number keys do when Cue Sync is not capturing them: Jump to song in setlist or Jump to marker in current song. See Keyboard Shortcuts.
• Show loop drag label — shows the length of the region, in seconds and (when a BPM is known) in beats, while you drag out a loop region on the waveform.
• Double-click waveform adds a marker — on by default. Ctrl + double-click always adds one, whatever this setting says.

Keybindings sub-tab

A searchable, read-only list of the built-in keyboard shortcuts — the same list as the ? button in the status bar. Type in the Filter shortcuts box to narrow it down. Shortcuts cannot be changed in this release ("customization coming soon"). The Keyboard Shortcuts page of this manual is the complete reference, including shortcuts that only work in one panel.

Cue Sync sub-tab (Quick-Cue palette)

The Quick-Cue palette assigns a name and a colour to the number keys, so you can drop cue markers at the playhead while a song plays. It has 16 slots in two banks: keys 1–8 are slots 1–8, and Shift + 1–8 are slots 9–16.

• Enable Quick-Cue capture (keys 1–8 + Shift) — on by default. It is the same switch as the CUE SYNC pill in the status bar. While it is on, the number keys 1–8 drop cues instead of jumping to songs. Capturing a cue is a Pro action (a licence or an active trial); the keys do nothing while you are typing in a text box.
• Slots — each slot has a colour and a default label.
• Profession — loads a ready-made palette: VJ, Lighting, AD / Stage Manager, Audio (A1), or Custom. The names double as tags for the viewer's role filter. Editing any slot switches the profession to Custom.
• Save as… — saves the current 16 slots under a name of your own. Saved palettes appear in the Profession menu under Saved; you can overwrite or delete them there, and saving under an existing name asks whether to overwrite it or keep both.
• Reset to default palette — puts all 16 colours and labels back to their defaults (after a confirmation).

See Quick-Cue Palette for using it in practice.
