Cue Card Settings

The Cue Card tab on the settings window allows the colors used when displaying a cue card to be changed. A sample cue card is displayed so that changes in the colors can be easily seen.


Background color

The background color (a pale yellow by default) is used as the back color for a cue card that has cue timing information. If a cue card does not have timing information then it is displayed with a white background.

Past cue color

Cues that are past the time of the being highlighted are displayed in this color (a light grey by default).

Lead-In cue color

Cues that are part of the music lead-in time (prior to the selected cue) are displayed in this color (a light green by default). See the Music Lead-In topic for additional information.

Current cue color

This color (a deep blue by default) is used to highlight the next cue. Most cuers have the next cue they would speak highlight about 1 measure ahead of when the dancers would dance the step.

Future cue color

This color (back by default) is used for all cues in the cue card that are in the future. This setting is only available if the Display all cue card text in black has been selected on the General settings tab.


Click on a color swatch to open a color selector where changes can be made. Changes automatically update the sample cue card that’s displayed.
