CUEPRINT
Cue-sheet exporter for grandMA3 (+ MA2 via the Pro viewer) v1.0.2 — changelog ↗

CUEPRINT

CUEPRINT is a Lua plugin that runs inside grandMA3. Lite walks your sequence — cue numbers, names, triggers, fades, delays — and writes a clean CSV your stage manager and production office can actually use. Pro adds the guion: a single self-contained HTML page with the per-fixture values stored in every cue (dimmers, colors with real swatches, positions, presets), generated in one step on the console and printable to PDF from any browser. The Pro viewer also reads grandMA2 sequence XML exports, so MA2 desks get the same rundown from their native export.

guion_opening_night.html — one step on the console
CUEPRINT Pro guion — cue list generated in one step on a grandMA3 console
per-fixture rundown — swatches & presets per cue
CUEPRINT Pro guion detail — per-cue fixture tables with dimmer values, color swatches and preset chips

↑ real plugin output from a console-exported sequence — cue names anonymized

FAQ

Before you ask over comms.

Where do I install it?

Copy cueprint.lua and cueprint.xml into gma3_library/datapools/plugins/ (console via USB stick, onPC on the local drive), then import cueprint.xml into a Plugin pool slot. The install guide walks through it click by click.

How does the Pro guion work?

Pick "Pro (guion HTML)" in the plugin popup and type the sequence number. The plugin runs MA3's own sequence export, reads the XML, and writes one self-contained HTML file with the cue list plus every stored fixture value per cue. Open it in any browser and print to PDF. It shows stored values only (what each cue changes), like the classic MA2 sheet — not tracked state.

How does MA2 support work?

The way MA2 cue sheets have always been made: export the sequence to XML on the desk, then print from the HTML. That HTML step died when modern browsers dropped Internet Explorer's XSL rendering — the Pro viewer brings it back. Drop the XML onto it in any browser: it auto-detects the format and produces the guion. Parsing is validated against real MA2 v3.9 exports. Nothing installs on the MA2.

How is it delivered?

Instantly, by email. LemonSqueezy sends you a download link for the plugin .zip and your license key the moment checkout completes. You can re-download any time from the link in that email.

What is the license key for?

It is your proof of purchase, used for support and upgrade verification. The plugin never phones home — MA3 Lua is sandboxed and has no network access — so there is nothing to activate and it works on machines with no internet.

How many consoles can I use it on?

The license is per person, not per desk. Install it on your consoles, your onPC rig and your backup — as long as it is you operating, you are covered.

Do I get updates?

All 1.x updates are free for both tiers. When an update ships, you re-download from your original LemonSqueezy link, replace the plugin file and re-import. The changelog lists every release.

What is the refund policy?

14 days, no questions asked. If it does not work with your workflow, reply to your receipt email and you get your money back. See the refund policy page for details.
