The cue list

Part 1 got you to a rundown that runs. This part covers the cue list in full: what every column does, what every setting changes, and what the special lines are for.

PageWhat it covers
The list itselfColumns, selection, editing a cell, and everything in the right-click menu.
NumberingHow the numbers are built, and which lines have none.
GO, stop and armingThe three states of a cue and exactly what each button does.
Follow actionsPause, next, loop, stop — and when a cue never triggers one.
TransitionsCut, fade and dip; where the duration comes from; how a cue leaves the screen.
In and out pointsTrimming without touching the file, and the duration that fills itself in.
GroupsThree levels of structure, collapsing, splitting, icons and exporting.
PartsThe other kind of container, and when to use it instead of a group.
Music bedsAudio that runs on underneath a run of cues.
Reordering and editingDragging, duplicating, renaming, deleting — safely, during a show.
The archive folderA place in the list for what is not taking part today.
Go-to cuesJumping to another cue: restarting a block, skipping one.
Warm-upWhat the program does in advance so GO gives picture at once.
Missing filesFinding a moved file before the show rather than during it.
The item paneLooking inside a line without opening it.

What this part does not cover

The cue types themselves — media, stills, web pages, playlists — are part 3. This part is about the list and the settings that apply to any line in it.

Cue types that a module supplies, and the extra columns they can fill in, have their own part of the manual.
