Documentation

The five concepts

• Marker

  One cue from the DAW: name, location, optional note, optional attached video and per-marker video settings.

• Group

  A setlist: an ordered list of markers.

• Super Group

  A collection of groups arranged as a full show.

• Stop marker

  Any marker with “stop” in its name, case-insensitive. Defines section ends and drives duration maths, progress, auto-advance and video stop. Can be hidden in lists via Settings.

• Section header

  A marker flagged as a non-timed header for Acts, Encores and so on. Tinted, and excluded from duration calculations.

• Session, template, bundle

  A saved .json show; a reusable snapshot of groups and super groups to merge into new sessions; and a .setlistbundle that carries the session plus its video media to another machine.

The interface

• Groups & Markers

  Build groups, edit marker order, and manage the All Markers holding area. All Markers shows only markers not currently used in a group; searchable by name, location or ID.

• Super Groups

  Assemble a full show from multiple groups. Reorder groups and markers; spin a new group out of a selection. All views stay in sync.

• MTC Timecode

  Live SMPTE timecode, frame rate, connected port and connection status. Create Virtual Port makes a “Setlist Organiser MTC” destination for the DAW.

• MIDI

  Connect controller inputs, watch an activity log of incoming messages, edit mappings with MIDI Learn, and manage a profile per device. Optional MMC start/stop.

• Show Mode

  The stage view: large current and next marker, big Previous / Play-Stop / Next, live timecode, animated progress to the next stop, a Lock toggle, and Follow Source set to Auto, Groups or Super Groups.
