The cue list
Reading the cue list, navigating shows, and advancing through your event.
The cue list
The cue list is the main panel of director view. It's where you see every cue in the event, organized by show, and where you control what's happening on stage.
Reading the list
Tabs at the top — "All" shows every cue; each cue type that's present in the event gets its own tab with a count. Use the type tabs to quickly scan all Live Songs or all Speaker cues without scrolling through everything.
Show headers — shows appear as visual group headers with a left purple border accent. The cues belonging to each show sit beneath their header.
Standalone cues — cues not assigned to any show appear under a "Standalone" header at the top of the list, before the shows. These are cues that exist at the event level — used for tech checks, intro countdowns, or anything that doesn't belong to a specific segment.
Each cue row shows: a position number, the cue title (plus BPM/key/time signature if it's a Live Song), a color-coded type badge, the duration, and action icons on hover.
The current cue
The active cue is highlighted in purple — bright background, accent on the left edge. You can see at a glance exactly where you are in the show.
The "Up next" display lives in the top bar's center section, not in the cue list. It shows the next cue's title and duration so you can see what's coming without scrolling.
Advancing through cues
"Next cue" button — the purple button in the top bar. This is the standard way to advance during a live show. One click, one cue forward.
Click directly on a cue row — jumps the show immediately to that cue. If the cue is in a different show than the one currently running, you'll see a confirmation first:
Switch show? This cue is in "{ShowName}". Jumping to it will switch the active show. → Switch and play / Cancel
Confirm and the director view switches shows and jumps to that cue instantly.
Tip
Hover controls
Hovering over a cue row reveals a set of icons on the right side. These are only shown to users with editing rights:
| Icon | Action | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| ↑ | Move up | Not already first |
| ↓ | Move down | Not already last |
| ⎘ | Duplicate cue | Edit rights |
| ✎ | Edit cue | Edit rights |
| × | Delete cue | Edit rights |
| ▶ | Jump to / play | Session active |
The ↑ and ↓ arrows work across show boundaries — see Reordering and moving cues for how cross-show movement works.
All icons are hidden until you hover. On touch devices they're always visible.
