Two new guides, CSV, alternatives and more templates
Guides to naming cues and to sub-cues and decimal cue numbers in grandMA3, a page on CSV run sheets, a comparison with other grandMA3 tools, and run of show and running order templates.
What’s new
Changelog
What has shipped in CueSetter, newest first.
Changelog, feedback and a note for the lighting operator
This page. After a download, a short line asks whether the macro worked on your console. The run sheet template has a ready-made message producers can send to their lighting operator.
Download count
We count macro downloads. Only the number of cues, the grandMA3 version and the site language are sent, never anything from the run sheet.
German
The site and the converter in German at /de. The import also knows German column names such as Nr., Uhrzeit, Dauer and Programmpunkt.
Free run sheet templates and guides
A run sheet template for Excel and Word in English, Norwegian and German, a guide to importing the macro on grandMA3, and a page on what a run sheet is.
Pages for Excel, PDF and Word
One page per format that explains what the import reads from an Excel, PDF or Word run sheet, and how the cue list gets into grandMA3.
Faster first load
The front page shows its content from the first paint, and the PDF reader loads once the browser is idle.
Questions and answers, and a contact address
An FAQ on the front page about file types, privacy, importing on the console, versions and cue numbers. Questions and feedback go to hello@cuesetter.com.
Built for the phone
A compact header and step bar, a fixed bar at the bottom with Back and Next, and cue rows on two lines. A long review takes far less scrolling.
Fix: PDFs in Safari on iPhone
PDF run sheets could not be read in Safari on iPhone. They can now.
Word and Excel
Reads .docx and .xlsx as well as PDF. Each sheet or Word table can be picked as the source, and Excel clock times show as HH:MM. A row can be deleted straight from the review, with undo.
Reads more real run sheets
Landscape pages, end-time columns, overlapping headers and duration and title in one cell. Items without a number get one between their neighbours (28, 28.5, 29), so the rest of the list keeps its numbers.
CueSetter on cuesetter.com
The converter in five steps: upload, columns, review, settings and export. In English and Norwegian, with light and dark mode, a sample run sheet, and drag and drop in the review.
Tested in grandMA3 onPC 2.5.1.0
The macro imports and builds the sequence with the right cue numbers and names, including sub-cues and the Note field. What goes in the Note field (start time and duration, the rest of the title) is now optional.
First version
A run sheet as PDF or text becomes a grandMA3 macro that builds one sequence with one named cue per item. The cue list can be edited before export, and the command line is there as a backup.
