cue sheet
Stage manager's list
A cue sheet is a document listing the sequence of audio, visual, or performance elements in a production.
In film and broadcasting, it details music tracks used, their duration, and composers—essential for royalty payments.
In theater, it lists lighting, sound, or stage cues in order: The stage manager followed the cue sheet during the show.
DJs use cue sheets to plan set transitions.
