CueTheShow

Load a script PDF. It will be split into subtitle cues of about 8 words (max 12), and a new sentence always starts on a fresh screen.

A PDF needs selectable text — if yours is a scan, run OCR on it or paste the text instead. Cues can be edited afterwards (double-click a cue in the list). Wrap words in *asterisks* for italics, **double** for bold; italics already in a PDF come across automatically.

Running a show in three steps

Music — add your audio files, put them in show order, and set volume, fades, loops and trims per cue (✎). Groups A–D crossfade within themselves and play over each other; stack plays on top. Press ⏎ GO for each cue at show time — that's the whole job.
Subtitles (optional) — running surtitles or captions too? Switch Console mode to Music + subtitles in SETUP, then drop a script PDF or paste text; it becomes subtitle cues (~8 words, sentence-safe). *italic*, **bold**. Music cues can link to lines.
Show time — with subtitles, click Projector view, drag it to the projector, double-click for fullscreen. The keys:

`Space` / `→`	next subtitle	`⏎`	GO — fire music
`←`	previous subtitle	`S`	fade music out
`B`	blank the screen	`P`	pause / resume
`N`	insert a cue	`X`	stop all (twice = instant)

Everything is saved in this browser automatically and restores on reopen — switch or add shows from the name in the top bar. Use a show card's ⇩ to export a full bundle (script + music + audio) and drop it on any other machine.
