Show Mode

Show mode is the performance view: full-screen script, big cue boxes, no editing tools, and the screen kept awake for the whole run.

Enter it from the edit screen’s show mode button in the app bar.

Calling cues

Every cue cycles through three states as you tap it:

1. Standby (amber) — the cue is armed; give your “stand by” call.
2. Go (green) — the cue has been called.
3. Complete (grey) — done; the cue dims out of your attention.

Tapping a completed cue returns it to standby, and cues can be reset for the next run. Follow-on cues show their “→” prefix so you know they ride on the previous GO.

During the run

• Pages turn with the on-screen controls; annotations, directions, and drawings all render exactly as marked up.
• The show timer (also on the edit screen tool bar) starts and pauses with a tap; long-press it to reset. It shows elapsed time, and when the show has an expected duration, remaining time as well. Timestamp elements show their captured times alongside the action.
• The screen wake lock is held for the entire session, so the tablet won’t sleep mid-act.

Show mode never modifies your prompt book — all editing stays in the edit screen.
