34.5. Organize The Show with Multiple Timecode Shows
This topic has a few tips and tricks when the show contains multiple timecode shows.
Separate into songs or sections
Multiple timecode shows implies this. It is a good idea to separate the performance into smaller sections. If it is for a
concert, then it is an obvious choice to make a timecode show for each song. If it is a theatrical or musical
performance, then it might be more tricky but there is often obvious time to make separations.
For music it might also be a good idea to put each song on separate pages.
