Up/down arrows, cross-show movement, and standalone cues.
Reordering and moving cues
Reordering within a show
Hover over any cue row in the cue list. Up ↑ and down ↓ arrows appear alongside the cue controls. Clicking ↑ swaps the cue with the one above it; clicking ↓ swaps it with the one below. The change is immediate.
Keep clicking to move a cue further up or down the list.
Cross-show movement
When a cue reaches the boundary of its show, the arrows don't stop — they trigger a cross-show move instead.
↑ on the first cue in a show — the cue exits the show upward and becomes a standalone cue positioned just before that show in the event's order.
↓ on the last cue in a show — the cue exits the show downward and becomes a standalone cue positioned just after that show.
↑ on a standalone cue (when there's a show directly above it) — the cue enters that show and is placed as its last cue.
↓ on a standalone cue (when there's a show directly below it) — the cue enters that show and is placed as its first cue, shifting all existing cues in that show down by one.
This gives you a seamless way to reorganize cues across show boundaries without any drag-and-drop. Just keep pressing the arrow in the direction you want to go, and the cue moves naturally through shows and standalone slots.
Standalone cues
A standalone cue doesn't belong to any show. It sits at the event level, in a slot between shows or before and after them. Standalone cues appear in the cue list in their position order, advance normally when the director clicks Next cue, and can have timers, end actions, and team notes just like any other cue.
Standalone cues are created by:
- Using + Add cue from the event action bar and leaving the show assignment blank, or
- Moving a show cue out past the show boundary with the ↑ or ↓ arrow.
Jumping to any cue
During a live show, the director can click directly on any cue row to jump to it immediately. If the target cue is in a different show than the currently active one, a confirmation modal appears: "This cue is in "{ShowName}". Jumping to it will switch the active show." Confirm and the director view switches shows and jumps to that cue.
This is the fastest way to handle an unplanned change mid-event — going back to a cue you skipped, jumping ahead past a block that was cut, or recovering from an unexpected order change.
