Interface Overview

The main window is divided into six areas. Knowing each one keeps you fast and confident during a show.

The main window: header on top, setlist on the left, timeline in the center, inspector + Prompter View on the right, status bar at the bottom.

AreaPositionRole
App headerTopTransport controls, program name, the timecode display (jump with ⌘G), chase, BPM, Slow Mode, performance mode, lock, and settings. Cloud buttons (cloud project settings / connect / operator / Master Lock) appear only on cloud-enabled projects.
Setlist panelLeftManages the day’s programs (Song / MC / Break) grouped into blocks. Each block carries a start timecode that is propagated to the programs inside it.
Timeline editorCenterEdits the tracks of the selected song (or the whole block in Unified view). See “Timeline Editing” for details.
InspectorRightEdits the selected song, track, clip, or prompt block in detail. Press M to swap it with the mixer view.
Prompter ViewTop rightA scaled preview of the live prompter on a 16:9 virtual stage — line breaks and fitting match the full-screen browser output exactly.
Status barBottomApp version, the PANIC button, the latest log line, master mute / volume, the Gapless toggle, and the show timer. On cloud-enabled projects, a cloud status (sync state and connected members) sits in the bottom-right; its hover panel opens “Cloud Project Settings” and “Organization settings” directly.

Key header buttons

  • Transport — Previous song / previous section / stop / play / next section / next song. During an MC, the section buttons page through the MC text.
  • Timecode display — Shows the current TC prominently. Press ⌘G to jump to any timecode.
  • Undo / Redo — Long-press (0.5 s) either button to open the edit-history panel and step back several edits at once.
  • Lock Mode — The padlock icon. Prevents accidental clip edits — recommended during the show.
  • Prompter Server — Opens the popover that manages prompter pop-outs and network sharing.
  • Settings — The gear icon (⌘,). Opens the tabbed application and project settings.

Setlist panel

The setlist is a group structure of blocks, each with a start time. Add a block with “+ → Add Timecode Block” and a song with “+ → Add Song”. Drag the ≡ handle to reorder and use the chevron to collapse a block. Compact view prioritizes song titles for at-a-glance reading.

Block start modes and In-Song songs

Each block starts in one of two modes — “1h” or “TC.” In addition, adding an In-Song divider inside a song splits it into an independent virtual song (an In-Song song) that also appears in the setlist.

  • 1h mode — As before, the block start is auto-raised to an integer hour.
  • TC mode — Click the header timecode to type an absolute start as HH:MM:SS:FF (frame-snapped). If an earlier block grows and overlaps, the later block owns the overlap, and the earlier block’s overlapped tail is treated as “not there” for timecode jumps, memory locations, and next/previous cue navigation (the data is preserved and returns if you move the blocks apart).
  • In-Song songs (dividers) — Use “In-Song +” in the timeline header to add a divider at the edit cursor / playhead. Everything after it becomes a virtual song with its own setlist row, memory location, and per-song cue-sheet (Excel) sheet. Rename it by double-clicking; each virtual song has its own progress gauge.

Inspector and mixer

The right panel adapts to the selection. Select a song to edit BPM, time signature, click settings, performers, start mode, and EoS; select an audio track to edit volume, pan, routing, trims, and fades. Press M to switch to the mixer view, which lines up volume controls for every track.
