Feature Request - Advanced Printing options for cue lists

I noticed recently that in 2.3.3 (and maybe previous versions as well), if you go to print the cue list, it prints ALL cue lists. If you try to print a cue list from the Advanced menu, there's no way to specify which cue list to print. The List, Start, and End boxes are grayed out and not editable.

I'm currently learning a larger show that was programmed by someone else, whose method was to program each part of the show into a separate cue list, then merge them into a main cue list when the rehearsal period ended. I'd like to print out just the main cue list to follow along during the show while I'm learning the cues. My current workaround was to print just the pages I needed from the PDF, but the whole PDF document is 40-some pages.  I know it's not really a big deal, but I thought it would be nice to have some finer control over what gets printed from cue lists.

  • I just tried this out in 2.3.2. In print, advanced, if I press cue, the start and end boxes were not grayed out, and setting the list to 2, only printed cuelist 2. Maybe try this out again.

    The problem with that is that when you print cues, it includes levels for each channel for each cue. For a show that has almost 700 cues, this is a much larger PDF (948 pages, in this case). And if I wanted to print it, I still have to specify the pages that actually show the cue list. It's simple enough to work around, as I said before.
    But let's imagine that someone needs a quick printout of a list of cues, sees the appropriately named PDF, and prints it without opening it or checking it first. That's a lot of wasted ink and paper, if they don't catch it in time.

    What u could try is to print sequences instead of cues.
    There u have the cueslists like in the PSD with only times, notes, etc.
    The only thing is u can`t enter a specific cue list in advanced mode, it will print u all of them into a pdf so u still have to clean the PDF.
