Cue marker styling

Shape, font, connector, and placement for cue markers — set on the layer, overridden per cue.

How a cue marker reads on the page — its shape, type, and where the number sits — is a layer setting first, with a per-cue override when one cue needs to stand apart. Set the house style once on the layer; reach for the override only for the exception.

Layer-level style

On the Layers tab, expand a layer's Cue marker style section. You control:

Shape — dot, outline, line-under, or half-box.
Type — font family (sans, serif, mono), weight, label size, and vertical alignment.
Connector — an optional line drawn between the marker and its label.
Placement — the label inline next to the marker, or out in the margin column; and whether the number sits in the marker or with the label.
Colour — inherit the layer colour, or set a marker / border colour.

Per-cue override

Right-click a cue marker in the editor for its quick-settings menu. From there you can flip its placement between inline and margin, or reset it to the layer defaults. Auto-numbering isn't a per-cue control — it's a layer setting, noted as such in the menu.

The cascade prompt

Save a layer's marker style and Cuelist asks what to do with any cues that carry their own custom style. Cues without one already follow the layer automatically. Choose Apply to clear the custom styles so those cues snap back to the layer too, or Keep to leave them as they are.
