ESTIMATED SCENES
Use your paper script. Scene estimates do not take cues or operate tabs. Clocks and scene timing are shared with this run’s viewers.
Corrections affect only the estimate. Recorded show clocks keep running.

THE RUNNING ORDER

SCENES AND STAGE STATES
Stage plots
Scale not set
Mark two points a known distance apart on your plan, then enter that distance. Sizes and positions will use metres.
Offstage storage
Offstage pieces appear at their stored positions here, or in the wing positions you mark on the plan.
Mark two points on the venue plan, then enter the real distance between them.
The original base plan keeps its proportions. Duplicate a scene to keep item identities, then change set positions and backdrop visibility. Open and close tabs with cue actions. Link scenes to cues to generate crew changes. Offstage set pieces move to their storage positions and remain visible in screen and printed plots. Backdrops switched off are omitted from printed plots. Enter crew names separated by commas.
THE BACKSTAGE RUNNING ORDER
Set, backdrop & tab changes
Changes are calculated between cue linked scenes. Add extra manual instructions where needed.

Clocks
Starting values are seconds. You cannot remove a category or clock while a cue uses it. Changes take effect for everyone when saved.
