Multi-Monitor Workspaces `[All]`

What it's for — Pop any CueSync surface out into its own window and put it where the show needs it: Cue Pads on a booth touchscreen, the big Timecode clock on a stage-facing display for the crew, Pro Decks on a second monitor, the Show Editor beside your console. Every window shares the same live show — the same cues, the same beat, the same outputs — so a pad pressed on the touchscreen fires exactly as if you pressed it in the main window.

Opening windows

Open the Window menu and tick a surface to pop it out; tick it again (or close the window) to bring it back. Available surfaces: Home, Cues (the Cue Pads grid), Decks, Timecode (the big stage clock), Scenes, and Show Editor.

• Timecode also toggles with ⌘⇧T (Ctrl+Shift+T on Windows) — the fastest way to throw the big clock onto a second display.
• Window ▸ Close All Windows closes every satellite window at once. The main window is never affected.
• Each new window opens slightly offset from the last, so windows never hide each other exactly.

Every window is a full CueSync citizen: it follows your theme and accessibility settings, adapts its layout to its own size (a touchscreen window renders touch-friendly controls while a desktop window renders compact ones), and carries the full menu bar — keyboard shortcuts, including Space for GO and the Transport panic chords, work no matter which window has focus.

Drag a window to any display and resize it freely; use the macOS green button (or View ▸ Fullscreen) to take a window fullscreen on its display — ideal for the stage-facing Timecode clock.

Layouts

The Layouts menu saves and restores whole window arrangements:

• Built-in starting points — Club (Cues + Decks), Theatre (Timecode + Cues + Show Editor), and Festival (Cues + Scenes + Timecode). Apply one, then drag the windows to your real displays.
• Save Layout As… — captures the current arrangement (which windows are open, where, at what size, and whether they're fullscreen) under a name you choose. Saving under an existing name updates that preset.
• Delete Preset — removes a saved layout you no longer need.

Layouts are also saved inside your show file: when you save a project, the current window arrangement is stored with it, and opening the project restores the same arrangement.

When displays change

CueSync assumes displays come and go mid-show and never strands a window somewhere you can't see it:

• Unplugging a display moves any window that lived on it onto your primary display, with a notification telling you which window moved.
• Opening a show saved on a bigger rig (say, a three-display setup) on a laptop restores every window visible on the displays you actually have — anything whose display is missing opens on the primary display instead, again with a notification.

If a window has trouble

If a satellite window ever hits a display error, that window is contained: it swaps to a recovery panel with Reload Interface and Blackout All Outputs buttons, while your outputs, cues, and beat sync keep running untouched — and every other window keeps working. The main window and the show engine are never taken down by a satellite window.
