The route to keeping your hands free: which screens to use in what order, and where to look when it does not work.
Turn Pages Automatically During a Show
Turn Pages Automatically During a Show
The app can hold a record of "at this time, show this page". That record is a timeline, and each point in it is a cue. Turning pages automatically means giving a song a timeline and playing it during the show.
This page is only the route. Each step is explained on the page it links to.
The Order
- Decide what you are matching, first. A recorded track means playback time; a metronome or the bars in the score means setting BPM and time signature first. Place cues before deciding this and you will place them all again.
- In Item Settings, bind the score and its page range, the audio, and a timeline to the song.
- In Score View, play the song and add cues from the timeline bar, then tighten them in Timeline Cue Details.
- On the night, play it from Score View.
Tightening cues is rehearsal work. On stage, keep to play, stop, and jumping between cues.
When It Does Not Work
- Nothing turns — check the song has a timeline at all: Item Settings
- The view does not follow — check navigation is not set to manual: Display Menu
- It drifts a little at a time — Timeline Cue Details. If everything drifts the same way, it is the song's audio start offset instead
- Sound but no turns — that is the timeline. Turns but no sound — that is level and mute in Mixer Settings
