The SM needs paperwork
Stage management runs the show off paper and PDFs, not off your desk. Every version of the sequence means retyping cue numbers into a spreadsheet at midnight.

The cue list,
off the desk.
Onto paper.
CUEPRINT exports your sequence to a clean, printable CSV cue sheet — straight from the console, in one keypress. For the stage manager, the spot ops, and whoever inherits the show file after you.

01 / The problem
The show lives in the desk. The people who run it don't.
Spot ops need calls
Followspot operators need cue, target and pickup on a page clipped to the truss. Reading it off the console screen over comms does not scale past cue 12.
The next op needs a map
Handing off a show file without a human-readable cue sheet is handing off a locked room. Archive the paperwork with the show and the revival takes hours, not days.
02 / How it works
01
Import once
Drop the .lua in gma3_library/datapools/plugins/ and import it into the Plugin pool. Two minutes, one time.
02
Press the pool button
CUEPRINT reads the sequence in place — cues, parts, triggers, timing, commands, notes. Nothing leaves the console.
03
Print the CSV
A clean .csv lands on your USB stick. Open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets, hit print, hand it over.
03 / Sample output
This is the file it writes.
Toggle tiers and switch between the sheet view and the raw CSV. What you see here is byte-for-byte what lands on the USB stick.

05 / From the road
“Replaced our entire “someone retypes the cue list into Excel” pipeline. Ran it at load-out, sheet was on the PM’s desk before the truck doors closed.”
“The followspot preset alone is worth it. Four ops, four clean call sheets, zero transcription errors.”
“I archive the CSV with every show file now. Revivals stopped being archaeology.”
