01.31.07 has been released: Major new features include Cue-Sheet Sidebar Panel and Cue-Button Images.

The Sidebar Panel provides and area to the side of your Cue-Sheet that does not change as you scroll through the different Cue-Sheets in your project. This means that you can have selected Cue-Buttons that are always visible, no matter what Cue-Sheet is showing.

 

Cue-Button Images allow you to choose an image from a pre-defined gallery, to place on the face of your Cue-Button. This can further enhance the user interface allowing the user to quickly identify a Cue-Button’s purpose.
