Type of information: term
context: These are the records of all of the individual channels' intensities in a cue (typically represented as percentages or fractions of full intensity) and the cue-to-cue transition timing. Hand-written cue sheets are letter or legal size, typically portrait orientation, typically one or two pages per cue, with dozens of cues per show. They record only which dimmers (or channels) are moving in a given cue.Track sheets have the same information in a spreadsheet format so that all of the channels that are on in a cue are visible not just those that are moving. In recent (1980s and later) productions the printed tracksheets from the computer consoles are typically letter size, portrait orientation, and reflect the much larger number of channels and cues that the computer systems can handle. Each cue might span several pages, and a Broadway musical might have hundreds of cues.
context: The Tracksheets typically show a grid of channel numbers, 20 or 25 per line, with an intensity percentage listed below each channel. Included with each cue, or on a separate "Cue List" document, is timing information about transitions between cue states.With the advances of computer control, and the geometric growth in the amount of cue data as designs have become more complex, some designers choose not to print the Tracksheets at all. Often the only record of the Tracksheet information is a diskette with data in a proprietary binary format, sometimes lacking even a file directory. Most recently (2000s) some control computers are capable of creating Abobe PDF files of tracksheets, including contents pages having links to each cue.
