Timecode for dance show

[billy jim]

I'm not sure how this would work with an ETC Element, but go with me on this:

Assuming this is built out of a number of tracks, why not separate your timecodes by 10 minutes per song, for example?

 

So track 1, which may be 2 minutes 30 seconds long would have timecode running from 00:01:00:00 through to 00:03:30:00, but then track 2, also 2 minutes 30 seconds long would have timecode from 00:11:00:00 through 00:13:30:00?

 

This would mean that if, in a live situation, you needed to jump around the running order, your cues would all be in time, no matter where in the stack you were. All I'd be inclined to do would be start and finish each number with a blackout. It'd be worth keeping an eye on cue list tracking, too.
