What is the line-set cueing process?

• A. The method by which operators move a line-set to a desired position, often via a counterweight system or motor
• B. The procedure for marking scenes on a cue sheet
• C. The stage right labeling process
• D. The process of calibrating line weights only

Answer: (A)

Line-set cueing is the process by which the flown elements—those scenery pieces suspended and moved by the rigging lines—are moved to their preset positions at the right times. It involves planning a sequence of cues, communicating them to the fly crew, and actually executing the moves using the counterweight system or motorized rigging. The cue tells the operator when to move, how far, and in which direction, with safety checks and travel limits observed before any movement. This coordination ensures scenery and effects arrive exactly where and when needed. Marking scenes on a cue sheet is about recording cues, not performing the physical movement; stage right labeling and calibrating line weights address separate tasks.
