VERSION 1.30
Each scene can contain any number of playsheets and each playsheet contains the sound
effect/music cues for each part of the play. Playsheets and scenes can be selected using
NEXT/PREV SHEET (F2 and F11) and NEXT/PREV SCENE (F8 and F16) in the PLAYSHEET
page. You will note that some playsheets in this example ("Prospero" and "Ariel", for example)
are used over and over again throughout the production - where there is a basic theme for
certain scenes that keeps recurring, this is an economical way to make use of playsheets.
In this example, it is not absolutely necessary to split the playsheets into different scenes - you
could have just one scene (called "The Tempest" perhaps) that contains all 19 playsheets.
Of course, a production need not be so complex and one playsheet may be all that is required
for a simple production with just a handful of sound effects.
CREATING A PLAYSHEET
Because a playsheet is actually a multi, you must use MULTI mode to create playsheets and a
playsheet is made in exactly the same way - with the cursor on F1, press CREATE MULTI (F16).
You may give the playsheet an appropriate name if you wish (for example, "Storm", "Prospero",
"Ariel", "Caliban 1", "Ariel & noises off", etc., as shown on the previous page). Once you have
created the multi, you can assign the appropriate programs to the parts in the usual way. These
components can be mixed, panned, tuned, sent to different outputs, etc., just like parts in a
music multi.
NOTE: A playsheet can only use the first ten parts of the multi so it's not worth adding
programs to any parts higher than Part 10 as these will not be displayed in the PLAYSHEET
page.

CREATING SCENES

Once you have a series of playsheets in memory, you need to place them in a 'scene'. This is
done by pressing SHEET TOOLS in the PLAYSHEET page. You will see this menu
